In addition to the starters, the 66-year-old Italian coach has left out of the game left-back Carlos Augusto (Inter Milan) and midfielder Andreas Pereira (Fulham).
But, while the ball doesn't roll in Itaquera, there's a lot of movement around the stadium.
The Green and Yellow Movement, which usually makes noise in the stands in support of the National Team, is present around the Neo Química Arena.
The "Pistola" Canarinho is also at the Corinthians' home to welcome the five-time world champions, including the "host" Hugo Souza.
And even Giannis Antelounmpo, star of the Milwaukee Bucks, from the NBA, is also present at the NQA.
And Neymar, the big star of this generation of Brazilian players, but who is still out of the National Team while trying to string together a series of games to get physically fit at Santos, was present at the concentration hotel to give that final support before the match.

'City fans will love watching him play'
Italian football journalist Nima Tavallaey says "outstanding" new Manchester City signing Tijjani Reijnders has "incredible vision and creativity" and is a "very good signing" as the club look to rebuild after the departure of Kevin de Bruyne. The 26-year-old enjoyed an impressive campaign for AC Milan, scoring 15 goals and registering five assists in all competitions before securing a £46.3m move to Pep Guardiola's side. Advertisement "I think Tijjani Reijnders is a fantastic midfielder," Tavallaey told BBC Radio Manchester. "He's a goalscoring midfielder, a very technical midfielder. "He was probably the only shining light last season in what was essentially just darkness at AC Milan. He was outstanding. "This is a very very good signing for City who are looking to rebuild after the De Bruyne era. "Reijnders is not a physical midfielder, although he can hold his own. He is technical, very dynamic, a great finisher and has incredible vision and creativity. "Given how City play and Guardiola wants to formulate his midfield, I think he will fit in just fine." Advertisement When pushed to identify weaknesses in Reijnders' game, Tavallaey added: "He's not exactly the best at tackling, he's not a ball-winning midfielder like that. "He is very good at pressing and reading the play and if he's got players around him who can help him out with ball-winning then he will really come into his own. "Aerially is not his strongest suit either but overall I think he is a very complete midfielder. He's very creative and attack-minded and I think City fans will absolutely love watching him play."

Familiar 3-5-2 Shape & Fresh Faces – How Cristian Chivu Will Begin To Make Changes To Inter Milan
Familiar 3-5-2 Shape & Fresh Faces – How Cristian Chivu Will Begin To Make Changes To Inter Milan Cristian Chivu will start with a familiar 3-5-2 shape at Inter Milan, but he will already be implementing new ideas with fresh faces. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement However, the Romanian is getting straight to work putting his stamp on the team. On the one hand, reports the Gazzetta, Chivu will stick with the 3-5-2 formation. At least initially. That is the shape that Inter are used to playing. They've practically played in that shape for all of the last six years under Antonio Conte and Simone Inzaghi. Therefore, Chivu is not going to upend that basic system right away. Chivu Prepares To Use Familiar 3-5-2 At Inter Milan – But With Fresh Faces ROME, ITALY – APRIL 28: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of Parma Calcio, looks on prior to the Serie A match between SS Lazio and Parma at Stadio Olimpico on April 28, 2025 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by) However, reports the Gazzetta dello Sport, Cristian Chivu is already beginning to tinker with the way the team plays within the basic framework of the 3-5-2 shape. Advertisement First of all, that means the positioning and movements of the attacking midfielders in the trio. The wingbacks and the strikers will also start to link up differently. And as the Gazzetta note, the addition of new signings will enable Chivu to start putting his stamp on the team immediately. In midfield, Croatian international Petar Sucic will enter the Inter starting eleven right away at the Club World Cup. Therefore, the 21-year-old can be a perfect player for Chivu to build his new-look midfield around. Sucic, unlike most of his new teammates, has not been playing under Inzaghi for several seasons. And similarly, Luis Henrique on the right flank will give an early indication of how Inter plan to use the wingback roles under Chivu.
