Brazil vs Scotland Team News
Many of the headlines once again centered around the availability of Neymar, who once again has been deemed not fit enough to start. Rayan has been selected to start in place of the injured Raphinha.
Steve Clarke’s pre-match speech centered around formations, with the Scottish manager saying: “I’ve got the Scottish media here and they kill me for being too conservative. I think we’ve shown in my time in charge, whether some people agree or not, that we can be very flexible with our system. For the game tomorrow, we’ll have to wait and see because I don’t want to tell Carlo [Ancelotti] what we’ll do.”
