Brazilian coach Tite has decided to spare his star striker Neymar on Sunday for the last group match of Copa America against Ecuador, the Seleçao being already guaranteed to finish in first place in group B.
Other usual holders such as Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro or Chelsea defender Thiago Silva were also left on the bench.
Tite rotated his squad a lot during this tournament, to make observations for the 2022 World Cup.
In Goiania, Brazil will play with an attacking trio made up of Everton, Gabigol and Roberto Firmino, with Lyonnais Lucas Paqueta in the midfield.
Parisian captain Marquinhos will start in defense alongside Eder Militao, with Renan Lodi and Emerson on the sides, while Alisson will find his place in the cages.
In the first three matches for the Seleçao in this Copa America, Neymar was very visible, scoring two goals and giving four assists.
Brazil remain on a streak of ten consecutive victories in all competitions, with only three goals conceded.
