Reports indicate that with Renato Veiga potentially injured, Savona might return to the defense alongside Kalulu and Kelly. Locatelli is considered another option to play centrally in the defensive trio. However, the primary plan is for the captain to remain in midfield with Thuram, a partnership that has proven effective. If Locatelli drops into defense, Douglas Luiz could step into the midfield.
On the flanks, Cambiaso is expected to start on the left, while Nico Gonzalez is likely to feature on the right. Gonzalez could also move into the attacking midfield position if Yildiz and Koop are unavailable, potentially creating an opportunity for Weah. Behind Vlahovic, there might be room for either Conceiçao or Kolo Muani.
