Brazil predicted lineup vs Morocco - Friendly
By Tom Gott
The first game of the post-Tite era for Brazil will be held on Saturday as the Selecao travel to Morocco for a friendly.
Under the temporary charge of Ramon Menezes, there were plenty of big calls made for this latest international break, with a number of squad regulars left at home for a myriad of reasons.
Here's the lineup the interim boss could opt for.
Brazil predicted lineup vs Morocco (4-3-3)
GK: Ederson - Usual starter Alisson has been left at home and Ederson recently admitted he does not know what that means for the future.
RB: Emerson Royal - The long search for a new right-back continues, with Emerson the top candidate after an impressive few months with Tottenham.
CB: Bremer - Injuries to Thiago Silva and Marquinhos should open the door for Bremer to get another start.

CB: Eder Militao - Often used as a right-back, Militao should slide into centre-back to help deal with the injury issues.
LB: Renan Lodi - Left-back isn't the strongest position for Brazil, with Lodi likely to be the next to get a chance to make the spot his own.
DM: Casemiro - Casemiro will wear the captain's armband in the absence of Silva.
CM: Andrey Santos - Menezes has made a point out of calling up Under-20 stars, of which Santos stands out from the bunch.
CM: Lucas Paqueta - Paqueta has a significant role in the international setup and don't expect that to change now.
RW: Antony - Man Utd's winger has been struggling to show his best this season and could do with a low-pressure stage to try and get things going.
ST: Rodrygo - Expect young Vitor Roque to get some minutes here but Rodrygo will likely start up top.
LW: Vinicius Junior - Brazil's talisman will be looking to bounce back after a frustrating World Cup.
