Five-time World Cup winners kick-off their 2018 finals campaign against Switzerland shortly.
The Selecao come into the tournament in good form and boast an array of talent such as Willian, Roberto Firmino, Gabriel Jesus, Philippe Coutinho and Neymar.
There were fitness concerns surrounding Neymar when Tite said he was not 100% yesterday, however, the PSG superstar starts alongside Willian and Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus.
Meanwhile, Tite has chosen to start with Roma’s Alisson in goal ahead of Manchester City’s Ederson.
Fred is out after he sustained an ankle problem, with Real Madrid ace Casemiro injuring him in training as per The Express.
As for Switzerland there will be familiar faces on show with the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Johan Djourou and Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka all making Vladimir Petkovic’s final 23-man squad.
