Despite Neymar’s absence, Brazil features a robust attacking lineup. Vinícius Júnior may take on a new role, supported by Rodrygo and rising star Estêvão, who netted two goals in Brazil’s recent 5-0 victory over South Korea.

• Forward Line: Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Estêvão
• Midfielders: Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, Lucas Paquetá
• Defenders: Eder Militão, Gabriel Magalhães

In defense, Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhães is expected to partner with Eder Militão in the center-back position. Veteran full-backs Danilo and Alex Sandro will provide experience, while Manchester City’s Ederson will start in goal. Paris Saint-Germain skipper Marquinhos is also back after recovering from injuries. However, Alisson and Raphinha remain sidelined due to fitness issues.
