How Brazil could line up against Guinea

In his first game in charge in March, Brazil succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to Morocco, increasing the need for Selecao to bounce back with victories over their next opponents and Senegal.

With Emerson Royal and Andrey Santos not featuring in the latest squad, changes will be made at right-back and in midfield, Monaco defender Vanderson seemingly in line for his debut in defence.

Menezes has more choices in the centre of the pitch with Bruno Guimaraes, Raphael Veiga, Joelinton and Andre all competing for one spot alongside Casemiro and Lucas Paqueta.

Newcastle United's Guimaraes may get the nod, although it is plausible that Menezes may instead opt for one of the other trio who have just one cap between them.

While Rodrygo was deployed down the centre of the attack versus the Atlas Lions, the Real Madrid star could move out to the right to allow Richarlison to return in the middle.

Although the Tottenham Hotspur forward endured a dismal first campaign in North London, he scored three times in four starts at the 2022 World Cup.

Weverton got the nod between the sticks last time out, yet Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker may start on this occasion with Ederson being given more time to recover from Manchester City's post-Champions League triumph celebrations.

Brazil possible starting lineup: Alisson; Vanderson, Ibanez, Militao, Telles; Paqueta, Casemiro, Guimaraes; Rodrygo, Richarlison, Vinicius Junior
