Danilo and André leave the team due to technical reasons, while Lucas Paquetá is disqualified; We therefore know the substitutes
Coach Dorival Jr has confirmed the starting lineup of the Brazilian team for the match against Peru, this Tuesday (15). Furthermore, he also revealed, in a press conference this Monday (14), that Marquinhos will be the captain in Danilo’s absence.
He stated that the decision regarding the team he would choose had already been made before the match against Chile. Brazil won 2-1 on that occasion, with goals from Igor Jesus and Luiz Henrique.
“They were not tests. The team was defined before the first match. It was our decision. Vanderson has interesting offensive power. We must look for balance in the sector, especially since there is Danilo as the third scorer. A player who he has a lot of experience and that has helped us in this moment of transition that we are going through, the captain of the team will be Marquinhos”, he revealed.
So the team that takes the field is the following: Ederson; Vanderson, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Abner; Bruno Guimarães, Gerson and Rodrygo; Raphinha, Savinho and Igor Jesus.
In addition to Danilo, Paquetá, disqualified, makes way for Gerson. André is the third change from the match in Santiago, with Bruno Guimarães taking his place in the 11.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) we have an important match which it can bring us to a slightly better position in the league table and that is the main objective. There is no excessive anxiety because it is not the time to do that,” he said.
