Coach Dunga will lead the crew in Rio and will first have to barter Group A, through which his facet will meet South Africa, Iraq and Denmark. A powerful aspect made up of proficient younger players
complimented by a trio of world stars, accompanied with house benefit, makes them the favourites heading into the 2016 games.

Senior group captain Neymar has already been confirmed as one in all Brazil’s three permitted over-23 gamers, whereas Dunga is keen so as to add Inter’s Miranda and Chelsea’s Willian to the group, although their launch continues to be to be agreed with their respective clubs.

All being well, Dunga is hoping to line up in a 4-3-three formation that blends youth and experience.

Present first-crew goalkeeper Alisson was set to be named as one of the three overage gamers so as to add security between the posts, but the emergence of Ederson at Benfica means Alisson is now set to miss out in favour of Willian.

Offering Inter conform to launch the 31-12 months-previous, Miranda ought to lead the again-four. Neglected for World Cup 2014, he has since turn into a mainstay of the senior team below Dunga, with no person incomes extra caps for the Selecao for the reason that coach’s July 2014 arrival.

Doria is in line to accompany him in central defence. The 21-year-previous is getting his profession again on monitor on loan at Granada in Spain after an in poor health-fated swap to Marseille and his pace and energy should present the proper complement to his experienced defensive partner.

Douglas Santos of Atletico Mineiro is favourite to fill the slot at left-back. The Galo defender was one of the highlights of Brasileirao 2015, kind which has seen him twice known as into the senior squad by Dunga, though he is yet to make his full international debut. Flamengo’s Jorge will provide competitors for that place, as may Atletico Madrid’s Filipe Luis who's rumoured to a potential again-up for the overage slots.

On the other side, Monaco’s Fabinho is making nice strides in France and has been capped three times by Dunga. He was also a part of the Copa America squad and looks nearly sure to be Brazil’s first-selection proper back in Rio.

The Selecao have loads of choices in midfield, with an extremely robust contingent of gamers of ‘Olympic age’. Sao Paulo’s Rodrigo Caio should anchor the trio after recovering from a severe knee injury to recapture his gorgeous early form with the Tricolor.

Palmeiras' 20-12 months-previous ‘volante’ Matheus Sales is among the many choices to companion him ought to Dunga elect to play with a double-pivot. He's quick attracting main curiosity from Europe, significantly after impressing when requested to mark Santos and Brazil star Lucas Lima within the Copa do Brasil final final year.

Barcelona’s Rafinha can also be returning from a severe knee injury and is a major contender to fill the position as the link man in midfield, shuttling between defence and attack to supply the Selecao a spread of passing within the middle, one thing Manchester United’s Matheus Pereira would also offer.

Lazio’s Felipe Anderson’s repute continues to soar in Italy and he should be confident of filling the attacking midfield role after being a consistent member of the Below-23 side.

The attacking trio will undoubtedly be led by Neymar, probably from his most well-liked beginning place from vast left. Willian ought to slot in on the proper should he be accessible, leaving Santos starlet Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa to fill the false No.9 role.

Gabigol was just lately drafted into the senior staff as a direct replacement for the suspended Neymar in opposition to Paraguay, in what was an actual show of faith from Dunga.

Nonetheless, the Olympic workforce haven't any shortage of attacking options with the likes of Vitinho, Gabriel Jesus, Malcom, Marcos Guilherme, Anderson Talisca and Luan all providing plenty of competitors for places.

All of that leaves Dunga with lots to ponder forward of August's event, though at the moment his facet may very well be set to line up something like this:
