The doctor from Brazil says he is optimistic for Marcelo; Douglas still worries

The Brazilian national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar is optimistic about Marcelo's participation in the second round of the World Cup Monday at 11am (Brazil time) against Mexico in Samara. . The player had a spasm in the stabilizing musculature of the spine and had to be replaced within nine minutes of the match in Moscow. The problem is not considered serious.

– Marcelo has a spasm in the spine, but he has already improved. Now, wait a little, 48 hours, to see how he responds. Let's wait a little longer, the next 24 hours to get a better answer (on the return prediction). They respond well to medicine. It's possible to have it in octaves. Not long ago, but I'm optimistic, "said Lasmar, adding:

– Playground, rotational movement, the musculature is caught. Nothing more serious. He has a story with this problem, a region slightly softer than normal.

Who can also be back in the game against the Mexicans is back Danilo, who is recovering from the pain of the hip and has already started doing some work. He was out of the last matches of the Brazilian national team in the World Cup, against Costa Rica and Serbia.

A different situation saw attacker Douglas Costa, with a wound in the posterior muscle of the right thigh and no prediction of return. Although he had not spelled out the player 's absence from the octave clash, Lasmar preached caution when talking about the subject and, unlike Marcelo, did not talk about the subject. did not say optimism.

– Both have evolved well, Danilo a little more advanced than we had planned, worked with the ball, we will reevaluate it when we get to Sochi. We are optimistic for his participation in the next match. Douglas, we will wait in Sochi, you can not speak now, "said the doctor.
