PHILADELPHIA, June 19 : Brazil selected forward Matheus Cunha and right back Danilo to start ahead of Igor Thiago and Roger Ibanez in Friday’s World Cup match against Haiti as Carlo Ancelotti made two changes to the team after a 1-1 draw with Morocco in their Group C opener.

• Ancelotti gives another chance to midfielders Casemiro and Lucas Paqueta, who start after struggling against Morocco.

• Cunha will play alongside Vinicius Jr and Raphinha up front.

• Neymar did not make the trip as he is still recovering from a calf injury which has him sidelined for over a month.
