The Brazilian team finished preparing this Saturday afternoon to face Colombia. The match, valid for the fifth round of the Qualifiers, takes place this Sunday, at 6 pm (GMT, 4:00 in Colombia), at the Metropolitan Stadium in Barranquilla.
For this game, coach Tite has the return of Neymar, who had to serve a sanction in the last game, against Venezuela.
Returning the ace shouldn’t be the only change the coach will make to the team. In an interview in the morning, he indicated that he is thinking about making other changes due to the physical exhaustion of the athletes.
One of them could be the entry of Éder Militão instead of Thiago Silva. The veteran is about to complete 100 games with the national team, but was not chosen to give a press conference on the eve of the duel, as a sign that he can remain in reserve.
