Vinicius Junior, the Real Madrid winger and Ballon d'Or contender, starts on the left flank for Brazil in their crucial Group C decider against Scotland. Neymar, set to play his first match after recovering from a right calf muscle injury sustained on 17 May, is available as a substitute.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Neymar's fitness to compete. Scotland named Andy Robertson at left-back and Scott McTominay in midfield, with goalkeeper Craig Gordon maintaining his place.
Brazil's victory would secure top spot in Group C, while a win for Scotland could alter their group progression depending on other results. The fixture represents a decisive moment for both nations.
Neymar's confirmed availability eliminates major injury uncertainty for Brazil's attacking plans and could lower pre-match odds if previously priced to account for his absence; Scotland's defensive setup will be crucial, affecting under-over match predictions.
