The most expensive player in football is available for the match at Stadium 974 in Doha after missing Brazil’s previous two games due to an ankle sprain he sustained in their opening 2-0 victory over Serbia.

Neymar only needs two more goals to match Pele’s record-setting 77 goals for Brazil overall.

Full-back After rotating his squad for Friday’s 1-0 loss to Cameroon, which came after they had already secured qualification for the knockout stage, Tite makes 10 changes to his team. Danilo also returns from injury.

Since Marquinhos and captain Thiago Silva are back at the centre of the back four, Eder Militao is the only player to keep his spot, but he is expected to start at right-back.

Paulo Bento, the South Korean coach, makes two adjustments as he welcomes back Kim Min-jae from Napoli, the centre back who missed their dramatic 2-1 victory over Portugal in the dying seconds.

Hwang Hee-chan of the Wolves, who entered the game late and scored the game-winning goal, is also given a start.
