The Brazil national team has officially revealed its starting lineup for the upcoming 2026 World Cup match against Haiti, with Neymar absent once again from the matchday squad.
Details: According to Marca, coach Carlo Ancelotti has chosen Vinícius, Cunha, and Raphinha to lead the attack. The starting eleven also includes Guimarães, Casemiro, Paquetá, Douglas Santos, Gabriel, Marquinhos, Danilo Santos, and Alisson.
As Brazil prepares to face Haiti, the team is still in search of its first tournament victory after a 1-1 draw with Morocco in their opening game.
Neymar’s absence continues to dominate discussions among fans, with social media flooded with jokes as supporters try to spot the renowned forward, only to find a dog in a Brazil jersey on camera instead. Earlier reports indicated that Neymar would miss the Haiti match due to injury, leaving Ancelotti to navigate the match without one of his key players.
