Casemiro will remain as captain after taking the role against Panama while Philippe Coutinho, Lucas Paqueta, Roberto Firmino and Richarlison have all kept their places to maintain some consistency.

Everton forward Richarlison said: "It is great for my confidence to be with Brazil.

"It is a very, very difficult thing to get into the Brazil national team, so when you achieve that it makes you really happy and you want it to continue for as long as possible."

Richarlison scored twice on his first Brazil start in September, against El Salvador, and also found the net against Cameroon in November.

Czech Republic head into the game after a 5-0 loss to England in Euro 2020 qualifying and coach Jaroslav Silhavy is looking forward to locking horns with Brazil.

"For us all in the Czech Republic it is a great match, famous Brazil, famous players came to Prague.

"We are preparing for it fairly so that we can present ourselves in a better light tomorrow."

Former captain Marek Suchy is expected to return to the team along with three more changes from the side which faced England.
