Neymar | Return of the 'crack'
Sidelined since February after undergoing foot surgery, the Paris Saint-Germain crack (the word often used in Spanish for amazing players) will get some precious minutes under his belt as he gears up for the tournament in Russia.
Speaking to the media, Tite announced the 26-year-old forward will not start the game at Anfield - but will be introduced at some stage in the second half.
"He [Neymar] will stay on the bench because he's in the process of recovery," Tite said.
"He will come on in the second half because it's a preparation game for us, for the whole team. He will enter the pitch.
"He has to be a star, but others have to be protagonists as well."
Brazil have been drawn alongside Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia in Group E at the World Cup.
