    Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson suffered an eye socket fracture so he missed out on making it in the squad. Casemiro was left off the team following a knock in March while Neymar is still recovering from an ACL injury Richarlison is dealing with a calf injury so he is not in the squad as well.

    Alisson will start in goal with Marquinhos, their most experienced player, and Militao in the defence. Newcastle star midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is set to start with Douglas Luiz while Lucas Paqueta is to play as a no 10. Raphinha and Vinicius will be taking the responsibilities in the wings with Rodrygo in front of the opposition goal. Endrick may also start the game in place of Rodrygo.

    Costa Rica

    Costa Rica have not conceded in any of their last three competitive fixtures, winning 15 of their previous 16 encounters when scoring the opening goal. The players of this Costa Rica team don't have much experience in International football. Douglas Sequeira is set to make his debut while Andy Rojas and Yeison Molina have played only one match each.

    Defender Francisco Calvo and attacking midfielder Joel Campbell are their most experienced players, each with over 100 caps with Los Ticos.

    Orlando Galo notched three goals in their two World Cup qualifiers. He is in brilliant form and will try to replicate those performances in the game against Brazil. Contreras, the 24-year-old striker has scored only 4 goals in 27 appearances for Costa Rica. He would like to improve and score goals more often as the team doesn't have many options on the bench in the form of a striker.

    Possible Starting XIs

    Brazil's possible starting lineup:
    Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Militao, Wendell; Guimaraes, Luiz; Raphinha, Paqueta, Rodrygo; Vinicius Jr

    Costa Rica's possible starting lineup:
    Sequeira; Cascante, Vargas, Calvo; Quiros, Galo, Aguilera, Mora; Campbell, Zamora; Contreras
