Ancelotti confirms Vinicius Jr will feature for Brazil against Croatia

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that star man Vinicius Jr will play against Croatia in their friendly on Tuesday (March 31).

It was reported that Vinicius Jr, 25, had picked up a knock in Brazil’s 2-1 defeat to France in their first game of the March international break.

Ancelotti has since provided a positive update on the Real Madrid superstars fitness ahead of their game against Croatia, along with that of PSG’s Marquinhos.

Speaking to the media regarding the duo’s availability, Ancelotti said: "They trained separately yesterday, but both are fine and tomorrow they will play."

"I won't say tomorrow's lineup because I haven't spoken with the players. We're going to make changes, but the system won't change."
