A blow to his ankle in the Selecao’s opening game with Serbia led to the star striker being ruled out of the rest of the group stage, which finished with Brazil losing 1-0 to Cameroon on Friday night.
Following the game, team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar provided an update on Neymar’s condition.
“Regarding Neymar and Alex Sandro, we think we have time on our hands and there is a possibility,” Lasmar told reporters.
“Let's wait what their transition will be - they have still not started to train with the ball and it's something they will do tomorrow. It will be important to see how they respond to this new style, so depending on that, we will make a call.”
Lasmar added that Brazil full-back Danilo has responded “very positively” to treatment having also sat out the last two games.
While there are “high expectations” he will make the South Korea match on Monday night in Doha, Alex Telles and Gabriel Jesus are both injury doubts.
“Alex Telles came off complaining of pain in his right knee after trauma,” he added. “He has been assessed in the changing room and tomorrow will do a magnetic resonance image to be able to assess his condition.
“Gabriel Jesus after the game complained of pain in his right knee and after clinical assessment, we have asked for an imaging exam tomorrow."
