On Monday, Brazil coach Tite will announce his 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, with uncertainty about some players in the 5-time world champion's squad, who is preparing to participate in the tournament that begins on November 20.

Below are the questions that will be answered when the coach reveals his list.

Who is to be removed from the list?

Brazil are favorites to win the World Cup for the sixth time because they have an exciting team full of young talents looking to reach the top at the perfect moment before the tournament.

The new generation created a "good problem" for coach Tite, with many offensive options.

Even if he has nine strikers in his squad in Qatar, a number he has said he plans to use, he still needs to make the tough decision to remove at least one good player from the squad.

With Neymar, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Rafinha, Anthony, Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus securing their seats on the plane to Qatar, this would leave 4 players vying for the last two places: Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli, Liverpool's Roberto Firmino, Atletico Madrid's Mateus Cunha and Flamengo's Pedro. .

Martinelli and Pedro are looking to grab the two seats because they are in great shape with their clubs.

Arsenal striker Martinelli, 21, played a key role in leading Mikel Arteta's team to the top of the Premier League, and is one of Tite's favorite players.

Pedro was the South American Player of the Year, and Flamengo's top scorer was the Copa Libertadores champion, scoring 29 goals in 2022.

And the veteran Firmino could be an additional player in the midfield, and one of Neymar's replacements, who plays a more central role, allows Tite to unleash the young Brazilian strikers around him.

This would make Cunha (Atletico player) the biggest potential loser, as he lost his chances with coach Diego Simeone, after he failed to score any goal in 15 games this season.

I do not think Coutinho deserved to go to the World Cup, but I am definitely sad to see him “go out” through injury.

Wishing him a quick recovery.

Do veterans Alves and Coutinho do it?

Pumas right-back Dani Alves and Aston Villa midfielder Philippe Coutinho have a long history with Brazil, but will their leadership qualities in the dressing room be valuable enough to secure a place in the squad?

After leaving Barcelona at the end of last season, Alves, 39, went to Mexico in an attempt to keep alive his dream of a fourth World Cup with Brazil.

But he played his last game with Pumas last September, and has suffered a knee injury that has troubled him ever since.

Danilo (Juventus player) is the only full-back who enjoys Tite's confidence recently, a position that prompted the coach to try relying on 3 defense hearts in the last friendly match.

Real defender Eder Militao played the role of right-back in Brazil's 3-0 victory over Ghana, and his brilliance could open the door for Tite to use an option for Danilo, and to use an additional defender behind Marquinhos and Thiago Silva.

Bremer (Juventus), Roger Ibanez (Roma), Lucas Verissimo (Benfica) and Gabriel (Arsenal defender) will fight for these two positions.

Coutinho suffers with Aston Villa, and the persistence of another veteran level (Everton Ribeiro), Flamengo player, may miss the opportunity to seize a place in the samba squad.
