Uruguay vs Brazil | Copa America 2024 | Quarter-Final | Pre Match

Uruguay could be without the services of attacker Maximiliano Araujo, who was stretchered off wearing a neck brace following a nasty collision in Uruguay's win over USA.

Christian Olivera came on as his replacement midway through the first half and he would seemingly be the most likely candidate to start on Sunday, joining Facundo Pellistri, Nicolas de la Cruz and Darwin Nunez in attack.

Bielsa is not expected to make any other changes to his first XI, with Federico Valvarde and Manuel Ugarte set to continue in midfield as Nahitan Nandez, Ronald Araujo, Oliveira and Matias Vina line up in a four-man defence.

As for Brazil, they will have to 'learn to play' without Viniciuos Junior according to Dorival, as the Real Madrid attacker is serving a one-match suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

The absence of Vinicius could open the door for 17-year-old Endrick to start up front, allowing Rodrygo to move onto either flank while Raphinha, Savio, Gabriel Martinelli and Pepe all battle for the final spot in attack.

Left-back Guilherme Arana will be looking to force his way back into the starting lineup at the expense of Wendell, while Douglas Luiz, Andereas Perreira and Ederson are all pushing to start in centre-midfield ahead of Joao Gomez.
