Brazil welcome back superstar attacking duo Robinho and Kaka for the World Cup 2010 second round clash with Chile, but are without injury victims Felipe Melo and Elano.

Head coach Dunga will be without the midfield pair for the all-South American affair and has drafted in Dani Alves and Ramires for the match. Kaka, Robinho and Luis Fabiano will hope to cause as much damage as they did in the 3-1 group stage victory against the Ivory Coast to send the Selecao through to a mouthwatering quarter-final meeting with the Netherlands.

Chile head coach Marcelo Bielsa has been forced to shuffle his pack after losing trio Marco Estrada, Waldo Ponce and Gary Medel to suspension. Real Zaragoza loanee Humberto Suazo will be keen to find the back of the net after he sat out the 2-1 defeat to Spain.

Brazil
: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Juan, Bastos; Alves, Ramires, Gilberto Silva, Kaka; Robinho, Fabiano

Chile: Bravo; Fuentes, Isla, Contreras, Jara; Sanchez, Carmona, Vidal, Gonzalez; Beausejour, Suazo
