DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Neymar will play for Brazil in the round of 16 against South Korea at the World Cup if he trains well in the team’s final practice session. Brazil coach Tite says Neymar will be back in the starting lineup if he shows he is healthy in the practice session. The Brazil forward was back training on Saturday after missing two group matches with a right ankle injury. Brazil struggled without the playmaker but still won its group despite a loss to Cameroon in the last match. Tite says he plans to use Neymar from the opening whistle instead of as a substitute if he’s healthy enough to play.
