How Brazil could line up against Mexico

How Brazil could line up against Mexico

Champions League-winning trio Eder Militao, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo could all be in the Brazil side for Saturday's international friendly against Mexico.

The trio helped Real Madrid land a 15th European Cup last weekend, and they are now with their country, with the start of the Copa America just around the corner.

Brazil will face Mexico and the United States in their two pre-tournament friendlies before beginning the competition against Costa Rica on June 24.

Head coach Dorival Junior is expected to name a strong starting XI for this match, with Alisson set to feature in goal, as Ederson has been ruled out of the competition due to the eye injury which he suffered while representing Manchester City towards the end of last season.

Alisson is likely to be one of four Premier League players in the XI, with Bruno Guimaraes, Douglas Luiz and Lucas Paqueta also expected to start.

Raphinha is set to feature down the right for Brazil, with the likes of Savio, Evanilson and Gabriel Martinelli providing the attacking options from the bench.

Endrick has two goals in his first four caps for Brazil, and the 17-year-old is expected to receive more action off the bench. Meanwhile, Atalanta BC's Ederson will be bidding to make his debut in this contest.

Brazil possible starting lineup: Alisson; Danilo, Militao, Marquinhos, Wendell; Guimaraes, Luiz; Raphinha, Paqueta, Vinicius; Rodrygo
