"Neymar's absence? Brazil have the players to field three strong teams"

Switzerland coach Murat Yakin said that despite Neymar's absence through injury, Brazil have enough players "to field three teams".

"We are prepared to play a good game. They are one of the toughest opponents; we want to focus on our strengths. I hope we can have a good start, like against Cameroon. To be aggressive and get a good result," Yakin told a press conference on Sunday.

Brazil will be without Neymar, who injured his right ankle in the first game against Serbia. "We have to focus on what we do. In games like these you always want to have those world stars on the pitch, but the Brazilian team have enough players to field three strong teams," he added.

Yakin praised Richarlison's wonder goal against Serbia and urged his team not to allow such situations in Monday's clash. "It was a very nice goal, because we watch football for those moments. But I hope it doesn't happen again, that they don't have those chances and don't give them space to score those goals," the Swiss coach said.
