Gabriel Jesus has been ruled out of the final as he serves the second game of a two-match ban incurred for a dangerous red-card tackle in the quarter-final victory over Chile. Lucas Paqueta and Roberto Firmino will be in contention for a start alongside Richarlison and Neymar to form the front three for Brazil.
