Team News & Squads
Colombia Team News
Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has been included in the Colombian national team squad, despite his parents being kidnapped, and his father recently being released after 12 days as a hostage. Also, influential midfielder Jhon Arias has been named, while veterans Yerry Mina, Juan Cuadrado and Radamel Falcao have been omitted due to lack of club playing time after recovering from injuries.
In place of starting right-back Santiago Arias, FC Cincinnati’s Yerson Mosquera is set to start on the right side of defense.
Possible Colombia XI: Montero; Mosquera, Cuesta, Sanchez, Machado; Uribe, Lerma; J. Arias, Rodriguez, Dias; Borre
Brazil Team News
Brazil’s interim coach Fernando Diniz is eager to see his team secure maximum points against Colombia after their lackluster performances during the last international break. Several key players, including Neymar, Casemiro, and Richarlison, are sidelined due to injuries, but Gabriel Jesus has been called up. Ederson’s absence in goal could give Alisson Becker an opportunity to claim the No. 1 spot.
17-year-old Palmeiras forward Endrick, a future Real Madrid player, has earned his first call-up to the Brazil national team squad, becoming the youngest player to be called up for the senior Selecao squad since Ronaldo in 1993.
Possible Brazil XI: Alisson; Emerson, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Augusto; Guimaraes, Andre, Joelinton; Rodrygo, Pedro, Vinicius Jr
