Brazil boss Tite provides major Neymar injury update ahead of World Cup clash with South Korea

Brazil manager Tite has confirmed that PSG star Neymar will be fit for their last-16 clash against South Korea on Monday. Neymar missed Brazil's last two group games with an ankle injury suffered against Serbia in Brazil's first fixture in Qatar.

The 30-year-old was withdrawn in the final 10 minutes of the 2-0 victory against Serbia for Man United star Antony and it was later confirmed he would at the very least miss the remaining group stage matches with damage suffered to the ligaments in his right ankle.

Brazil coped without their star man, finishing top of group G, despite their defeat to Cameroon on Friday, thus setting up a last-16 fixture with South Korea.
