Brazilian ace Neymar, who missed the second and third round of the group stage due to injury, is expected to play in the round of 16 against Korea.

Neymar was replaced with an ankle injury in the first game of the group stage.

There was hope that he would not be able to participate during the World Cup, but the Brazilian Football Association released a video of Neymar’s return to training via the official website.

This is not welcome news for our country ahead of its head-to-head match against Brazil.

Neymar, who scored 75 goals in A game alone and came close to ‘football hero’ Pele by two goals, is the star of the Brazilian national team.

In the last two clashes with Korean ace Son Heung-min, Neymar won by decision.

In the 2013 game, Brazil won by scoring a total of two goals, including a free kick goal by Neymar, and in this year’s game, Neymar scored several goals to lead Brazil to a 5-1 victory.

However, Son Heung-min is ahead of Neymar in the recent scoring record in the pro league.

This is because Son Heung-min scored 23 goals in the English Premier League, while Neymar scored 13 goals in the French Ligue 1 last season, becoming the top scorer.

Heung-min’s son from ‘Mask Fighting Spirit’ and Neymar, who is expected to recover from an ankle injury,

Football fans pay attention to the match between the two football stars.

On the other hand, a meeting with Hischarlisson, a close friend and position rival who ate a bowl of rice in Tottenham with Son Heung-min, is also of interest.

Hischarlisson, who was uncertain whether to play due to injury, joined the national team in dramatic fashion and scored two goals in the group stage, making it a big success.
