Brazil manager TIte has confirmed that Roberto Firmino will start up front when his side face Cameroon in a friendly on Tuesday evening.
Gabriel Jesus has, more often than not, been Tite’s prefered option to lead the line for the Selecao, but Firmino will get the chance to impress in the friendly game at Stadium:MK in Milton Keynes.
Whilst Firmino will be happy to be given the chance to play for his country, Liverpool fans will be watching with bated breath, hoping he can come through the game unscathed as the Reds will want him fully fit for the upcoming games against the likes of Watford, PSG and Everton.
The likelihood is that the 27-year-old won’t play the entire 90 minutes as Tite often rotates him and Jesus during games, but he will, all being well, get a significant run out alongside the likes of Neymar and Philippe Coutinho.
