Brazilian Reds tipped to start against USA

Fabinho is expected to get his first minutes of the season alongside clubmates Alisson and Roberto Firmino when Brazil take on the United States on Saturday.

Fabinho, a £40million signing from Monaco, has yet to make the bench for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp cautiously eases him into life in the Premier League.

However, he is set to feature for his country in New Jersey this weekend, according to Globo Esporte.

It is likely that he will be used as a right-back, a position he became accustomed to at Monaco, rather than as a defensive midfielder.

Alisson is set to retain the no.1 spot he occupied at last summer’s World Cup, while Firmino will reportedly be given a chance to impress Tite after being forced to watch much of the tournament from the sidelines.

The clash with the USA is followed by a meeting with El Salvador in Maryland in the early hours of Wednesday morning (UK time).

The trio will then return to Melwood in a bid to hurriedly prepare themselves for a crucial visit to Tottenham Hotspur on September 15.
