Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has made the surprise decision to select striker Igor Thiago, who will make his World Cup debut, over Matheus Cunha for their tournament opener against Morocco in New Jersey.
The Brentford striker just became the first Brazilian to score more than 20 goals in a Premier League season and will line up alongside Vinicius Jr and Raphinha.
Neymar misses the game due to his calf injury.
Brazil: Alisson; Roger Ibanez, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes, Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes, Lucas Paqueta; Raphinha, Vinicius Jr, Igor Thiago.
