"Arsenal's Emirates Stadium hosts a potentially star-studded international on Saturday when Brazil face Senegal. New Selecao manager Carlo Ancelotti has overseen three wins, one draw and two defeats since taking charge in May. A 1-0 home win over Paraguay in June ensured Brazil maintained their flawless record of qualifying for every World Cup, while Senegal sealed a place at the finals in the US, Canada and Mexico by beating visitors Mauritania 4-0 on October 14."
"Brazil record scorer Neymar has not been called up despite recovering from injury at Santos, while goalkeeper Hugo Souza has withdrawn through injury. Defender Lucas Beraldo, midfielders Joelinton and Joao Gomes and forwards Raphinha, Gabriel Martinelli, Savinho are also not involved. Ancelotti has spoken publicly about encouraging Vinicius Junior to play as a central forward rather than his usual role on the left. The Real Madrid star started in that position in the 3-2 friendly defeat to Japan on October 14 and could continue there."
