Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he expects to be able to hand more minutes to winger Neymar in the team’s World Cup round-of-32 meeting with Japan on Monday, with the legendary forward starting the game on the bench.
A calf injury picked up shortly before joining the Brazil camp kept Neymar sidelined for the first two games this summer, but he was fit enough to play 14 minutes off the bench against Scotland in Brazil’s final group game.
