How will Brazil line up at the Copa America?

Despite Neymar missing the trip to the USA and David Luiz, Oscar and Roberto Firmino among the omissions, coach Dunga has a settled side for the tournament.

Brazil heads to the USA next month in search of its ninth Copa America crown.

With captain Neymar sitting out in order to lead the Selecao into August’s Rio games, coach Dunga has selected a young squad for the centenary edition of the Copa America and is desperate to build momentum ahead of a second major tournament on home soil in two years.

One-time Dunga favorites Danilo, David Luiz, Marcelo, Oscar, Fernandinho, Kaka and Roberto Firmino were among those dropped from the group, however, Brazil still looks set to arrive in North America with a fairly settled XI.
