World Cup favourites Brazil are racing to overcome injuries to key players as they prepare for their last-16 match against South Korea on Monday, after a heavily changed side lost 1-0 to Cameroon on Friday night.
“The physical demand is ever increasing, the time is short, it's a cumulative effect of games and sometimes you don't have the ideal recovery time on your hands,” Tite told a said on Friday.
Tite did not allow media to attend Brail's training session on Saturday but said Neymar, Alex Sandro and Danilo would be on the pitch to test their condition. If Tite opts to use Real Madrid centreback Eder Militao as a fullback, as he did in the absence of Danilo against Switzerland, Brazil would have no defenders left to sit on the bench.
Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes could also be an alternative, pushing Lucas Paqueta forward into a playmaking role.
