We’ll have to wait a while for the teamsheets but what do we know already?
Talisman Neymar and defender Danilo returned against South Korea after missing two games due to ankle problems, and Neymar looked sharp in 80 minutes on the pitch, scoring a goal and showing no signs that his right foot was bothering him.
But Brazil could be even stronger against Croatia.
Left-back Alex Sandro could be available if he comes through training, meaning that Tite, having improvised last time out and started right-back Danilo on the left of defence, might get the chance to field his full-backs Danilo and Sandro in their natural positions.
Speaking about Alex Sandro, Tite said on Thursday: “He’s going to practise this afternoon and then we’ll decide what happens for the match.
“In theory, he will not be participating because we are still not working very strongly and those are different injuries (Alex Sandro and Neymar’s), so the medical department and the physiotherapists have to analyse as it’s a different situation to what happened with Neymar. But we’ll see this afternoon.”
