“They are in a process of development. Our focus is on the match against Cameroon today and then we will enter the decision-making process,” Xavier told a news conference.

“There is already a well-crafted plan by our medical staff for the return of the injured players. They will be re-evaluated on Saturday.”

Juventus left back Alex Sandro suffered a hip injury in a 1–0 win over Switzerland, while Neymar and Juve right back Danilo picked up ankle injuries in Brazil’s 2–0 win over Serbia.

Rodrigo Lassmar, the Brazilian team doctor, did not give a definite timetable for his return.

Brazil will top the group with a draw or a win. If they lose and Switzerland beat Serbia, the top spot will be decided on goal difference.

The Swiss are second with three points, two ahead of Serbia and Cameroon, and will advance with a win.

Serbia and Cameroon need to win to have any chance of progressing and if they both succeed then second place will be decided on goal difference.
