How Brazil could line up against South Korea

Brazil boss Tite will need to make checks on those involved in the 2022 Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid before picking his side for Thursday's international friendly with South Korea.

Alisson Becker, Eder Militao, Casemiro, Fabinho, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo were all involved in the European Cup final, with Militao, Casemiro, Vinicius and Rodrygo coming out on top.

Rodrygo was only a late substitute against Liverpool, so he could potentially be given a start on the right here, while Lucas Paqueta might operate as the 10, with Neymar playing off the left for the visitors.

Richarlison, who continues to be linked with a move away from Everton, has now scored 13 times in 34 appearances for his country and is set to lead the line, but Tite has plenty of other attacking options.

Indeed, Gabriel Jesus, Raphinha, Matheus Cunha and Gabriel Martinelli are also pushing for spots in the final third, while Manchester United's Fred has been an important player for Brazil of late.

At the back, Marquinhos could play alongside the experienced Thiago Silva, with Dani Alves and Alex Telles potentially featuring in the full-back positions.

Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhaes will be bidding to win his first cap, while Leo Ortiz (Bragantino) and Danilo (Palmeiras) are the other two uncapped players in the squad.

Brazil play again against Japan on June 6, so Tite will make full use of his squad over the next two matches, with the majority expected to be given chances to impress.

Brazil possible starting lineup: Ederson; Alves, Marquinhos, T Silva, Telles; Fabinho, Guimaraes; Rodrygo, Paqueta, Neymar; Richarlison
