Team news
In terms of player availability we could be looking at one of the most lopsided Brazil vs Argentina games ever.
As of Tuesday, August 31, Brazil are without any of their Premier League players due to red list rules
These include Alisson, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino, Ederson, Gabriel Jesus, Thiago Silva, Fred and Richarlison.
As a result, they have called up a number of potential replacements from outside the UK.
These are Miranda, Edenilson, Gerson, Matheus Nunes, Hulk, Malcom and Vinicius Jr.
Argentina is also on the UK red list but Tottenham’s Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso as well as Aston Villa’s Emi Buendia and Emiliano Martinez forced their clubs’ hand by taking a private jet to South America.
Brazil’s Neymar and Argentina’s Lionel Messi are both set to play as they ply their trade in France.
