Why Brazil aren't wearing their iconic yellow shirts against England in Wembley friendly - explained

This encounter marks the first time in seven years that England will host the Selecao, adding anticipation to the clash between two footballing powerhouses. However, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/forget-jogo-bonito-brazil-mess-no-wins-injuries-managerial-flux-copa-america/bltba99c353a10a9133#csbb431aee2053c968" target="_blank">fans expecting to see Brazil donning their famous yellow shirts</a>, synonymous with football legends like Pele, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho, will be in for a surprise - as the five-time World Champions will showcase their blue away strip.

DID YOU KNOW?

Brazil will be without several key players like Neymar, Gabriel, Marquinhos, Casemiro, Gabriel Martinelli, Alisson Becker, and Ederson as they are recovering from their respective injuries. Needless to say, it will be a stern test for manager Dorival Junior, who will be leading his first match on Saturday evening after succeeding Fernando Diniz.
