Brazil face Ecuador on Friday night before another World Cup qualifier against Paraguay on Wednesday.

But local media reports say there is a chance European-based players such as Neymar could refuse to play in the tournament after disagreeing to move the tournament to Brazil, which has the second highest rate of deaths from coronavirus.

Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro refused to show for a press conference ahead of the Ecuador qualifier due to the tournament being moved, and coach Tite revealed that the players have complained to national confederation chief Rogerio Caboclo. 

‘They have an opinion, they exposed it to the president … and they will expose it to the public at the appropriate time,’ Tite said.
