Coach Carlo Ancelotti says Brazil will field a much-changed side against Australia in Brisbane on Tuesday, four days after a 1-1 draw in Townsville. He confirmed the priority is blooding young players, with several starters set to be rested.
What it means
- Ancelotti: 'It will be an opportunity for other players who didn't play in the first game'
- Squad picked for transition, including players aged 17-19, not Brazil's strongest available XI
- Second Queensland Football Series match follows the 1-1 draw in Townsville
Model read
Brazil are set to field a significantly weakened, experimental line-up, resting first-choice starters and handing minutes to youngsters, which notably reduces their edge against a settled Australia side.
