Brazil x Uruguay: lineups
How do the two teams arrive for the match? Check out the information!
Brazil lineup
The tendency is for coach Dorival Júnior not to make major changes in relation to the starting team that drew with Venezuela in the last round of the Qualifiers. The only new thing will be the entry of Danilo on the right flank, as Vanderson is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Brazil lineup: Ederson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Abner; Bruno Guimarães, Gerson and Raphinha; Vini Jr., Igor Jesus and Savinho. Technical: Dorival Junior.
Uruguay lineup
Uruguay will be without Nahitan Nández, suspended, and Santiago Bueno, injured. As a result, Varela, a Flamengo player, should be the starter on the side. The rest of the starting lineup should be the same as the one that beat Colombia in the last round.
Uruguay lineup: Rochet; Varella, Giménez, Olivera and Sarachi; Valverde, Bentancur and Aguirre; Pellistri, Araújo and Darwin Núñez. Technical: Marcelo Bielsa.
