The Brazilian team has been hit by the Premier League’s decision not to release international players in the red-listed COVID-19, meaning players such as Thiago Silva, Fabinho, Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison have not been able to accompany goalkeepers Ederson and Alisson Becker.
In those cases, Tite put on a strong team on Friday, with Neymar leading the line alongside Flamengo Gabriel Barbosa.
Everton Ribeiro will be looking for first place, after coming off the bench to beat the winner of the match, while Hulk and Matheus Cunha also knocked on the door.
In the absence of their top two goalkeepers, the Selecao will once again put Weverton among the sticks, after pairing behind Eder Militao and Marquinhos.
Brazil possible XI:
Goalkeeper: Weverton;
Defender: Danilo, Militao, Marquinhos, Sandro;
midfilder: Ribeiro, Casemiro, Guimaraes, Vinicius;
Forward: Barbosa, Neymar
