Brazil are dealing with an injury crisis, missing key players like Eder Militao, Bremer, Danilo, and Ederson Moraes. Alisson, however, returns to the squad after being unavailable for the previous international windows.
Given the defensive injuries, first-time call-ups mostly consist of defenders, including Nottingham Forest's Murillo, along with Flamengo's Leo Ortiz and Wesley Franca.
Brazil are likely to field an experienced back four with Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence, and Vanderson and Alex Sandro as full-backs. Joelinton is expected to partner with Bruno Guimaraes in midfield, while Raphinha will be looked to as a potential match-winner, alongside a need for a stronger performance from Vinicius Junior.
Surprising omissions include Lucas Paqueta, Ederson, and Igor Jesus, while Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus are also injured, creating a forward void that may be filled by Matheus Cunha or Joao Pedro. Lucas Moura and Oscar were also left out despite their recent strong performances with Sao Paulo.
