Douglas Costa back in training with Brazil

Published on

Brazil received a boost as Douglas Costa returned to training ahead of the World Cup quarter-final against Belgium.

The Juventus wing has managed just 45 minutes in the tournament so far, coming on at half-time in the 2-0 victory over Costa Rica.

However, Costa picked up a hamstring injury during his impressive cameo performance, ruling him out of his side’s final Group E fixture against Serbia.

He was also not involved in the last-16 tie with Mexico but was back working with his teammates on Tuesday as Tite’s squad prepare for Friday’s quarter-final clash with Belguim in Kazan.
