The Brazilian national Team flew away Sunday for Split where it will face next Wednesday in Poljud Stadium, Croatia.
The single absence is the left back Gilberto, who is injured. Carlos Alberto Parreira called upon the Corinthians defender Gustavo Nery as replacement.
The national technician will be able to count on the return of the World Cup winners Cafu, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos, who did not take part in the Confederations Cup gained last June in Germany.
