Top striker Ronaldo is recovering from thigh muscle pains and is expected to train with the team on Monday, according to Brazilian team doctor.
"Ronaldo is evolving as we expected," said Jose Luis Runco on Sunday. "We expect that tomorrow he can join practice with the rest of the team."
That is a good news for Brazil which will play Turkey in the semifinal match on Wednesday. Germany take on South Korea in the other semifinal.
Ronaldo was replacing at the 70th minute after complaining of a pain in his left thigh muscle during Brazil's 2-1 victory over England on Friday.
An ultrasound scan on Saturday showed no serious injury, and the Brazilian team doctor said the pain was caused by muscle stress that usually takes 72 hours to heal.
