Dorival Junior's squad will look to grab its second win in the last week as Brazil hosts Peru on Oct. 15.
Brazil earned a much-needed three points on Oct. 10, rallying a comeback to secure a 1–2 victory over Chile. The five-time World Cup winners were without Vinícius Júnior, Éder Militão, Alisson, Bremer and Guilherme Arana, yet they still found a way to overcome Eduardo Vargas's second-minute goal.
The Selecao now sits in fourth place after nine CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, behind only Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay. To keep its spot in the overall standings, Brazil needs to handle business against Peru, a team that just defeated Uruguay on Oct. 11.
In addition to the five players nursing injuries, Dorival Junior also must replace Lucas Paquetá, who must serve a one-game suspension due to yellow card accumulation.
Here's what Brazil's XI could look like against Peru.
