# Brazil leave Alisson, Fabinho and Firmino out of their starting XI

Tite has not selected Alisson, Fabinho or Firmino in his starting XI for Brazil’s upcoming friendly game against El Salvador in Maryland, U.S.A.

The game takes place at 3:30 EST on Tuesday evening (1:30am Wednesday BST) and with Liverpool facing Tottenham away in the early kick-off on Saturday, there was a worry about the fitness about the trio.

In truth, Alisson would likely have been fine to start at Wembley even if he did feature in the game, whilst Fabinho seems likely to miss out regardless, although he could have been on the bench.

The main worries will have surrounded Firmino, who hasn’t looked 100% sharp this season following his late arrival into Liverpool’s pre-season due to his World Cup exploits.

Firmino could still be on the bench for the game, but there’ll be plenty of Liverpool fand hoping he stay there and doesn’t feature in the game.
