Brazil has been hit harder than Chile by the United Kingdom’s coronavirus restrictions, with captain Thiago Silva, goalkeepers Alisson and Ederson, as well as forwards Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Jesus not able to join up with the squad.
This has allowed head coach Tite to introduce some new faces onto the roster, including Benfica’s Guilherme Arana, Marseille’s Gerson and new Atletico Madrid signing Matheus Cunha.
The main talking point is the return of 35-year-old Hulk, who has not featured for Brazil since 2016.
Predicted Brazil starting XI: Weverton; Dani Alves, Marquinhos, Militao, Sandro; Casemiro, Guimaraes; Ribeiro, Paqueta, Neymar; Barbosa.
