Brazil will be aiming to pick up their first win of 2023 as they take on Guinea and Senegal in June's international friendly window.
Ramon Menezes remains in interim charge of the Selecao following the departure of Tite after their 2022 World Cup quarterfinal exit.
Despite their efforts to bring in Carlo Ancelotti as Tite's permanent replacement, the Italian looks set to stay at Real Madrid, and Brazil face a race against time to appoint a new head coach before the start of 2026 World Cup qualification in September.
The Sporting News looks at the Brazil squad picked by Menezes ahead of their first international friendly up against Guinea.
