• Ancelotti gives another chance to midfielders Casemiro and Lucas Paqueta, who start after struggling against Morocco.
• Cunha will play alongside Vinicius Jr and Raphinha up front.
• Neymar did not make the trip as he is still recovering from a calf injury which has him sidelined for over a month.
