Alisson; Wesley, Bremer, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Bruno Guimarães and Casemiro; Luiz Henrique, Raphinha, Matheus Cunha and Vini Jr.
The information comes from outlets that cover the national team, such as GE and Canal GOAT.
Ancelotti will be without the Champions League finalists for this friendly: Gabriel Magalhães, Gabriel Martinelli and Marquinhos.
Neymar is another absentee. The star was even on the field during Friday’s (29) training session for separate work.
However, the expectation is that Neymar’s treatment will take two to three weeks. As a result, he is doubtful for Brazil’s World Cup opener.

After Panama, Brazil will play another friendly, against Egypt, on June 6, a Saturday, at 7 p.m., already in the United States.
Brazil’s World Cup debut will be against Morocco on June 13, a Saturday, at 7 p.m., in New Jersey, in Group C.
What about the World Cup team?
The lineup for the World Cup will have at least three changes compared with the team tested this Friday (29).
Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães — Champions League finalists for PSG and Arsenal — will be starters for Brazil.
Gabriel Martinelli is also expected to start, but he faces competition from Luiz Henrique.
So, a base lineup for Brazil for the World Cup is: Alisson; Wesley, Bremer, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Bruno Guimarães and Casemiro; Luiz Henrique, Raphinha, Matheus Cunha and Vini Jr.
