On Wednesday, 25, Carlo Ancelotti told the media that Wesley will start against France. He also revealed that Léo Pereira will be in the starting XI, with Douglas Santos at left-back.

The Italian kept his attacking plans under wraps. He did confirm he will field four forwards, and Vinicius Júnior is the leading option for the left flank.

The match kicks off at 17:00 Brasília time on Thursday, 26 March, at Gillete Stadium in Boston. Brazil then face Croatia on 31 March in Orlando.
