Brazil vs. South Korea at the 2022 FIFA World Cup Actual Scoreboard: After recovering from an ankle injury, Brazil striker Neymar will start for the five-time World Cup champions against South Korea on Monday. Due to the absence of Alex Sandro and Alex Telles due to injuries, full back Danilo was also given the all-clear to play and will begin on the left side of the defence.
Neymar and Danilo both sustained ankle injuries in Brazil's opening 2-0 victory over Serbia, which prevented them from playing in Brazil's subsequent 1-0 victory over Switzerland and 1-0 loss to Cameroon when coach Tite rotated his team to keep the majority of his important players healthy. Eder Militao, a centre back, will play in the same position against South Korea as Danilo did against Switzerland. Kwon Kyung-won and Lee Kang-in were replaced in the starting lineup by Kim Min-jae, a defender, and Hwang Hee-chan, a forward who came off the bench to score the game-winning goal against Portugal in stoppage time. South Korea coach Paulo Bento also made two more changes to his starting lineup.
