Team news
Japan are without a handful of star players with Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma, Crystal Palace defender Takehiro Tomiyasu and striker Ayase Ueda - who scored last time out - sidelined through injury.
Ancelotti is operating with a youthful squad that does not include Alisson Becker, Marquinhos and Matheus Cunha, while Joao Pedro is out with a thigh problem. Raphinha is involved despite only recently recovering from a muscle issue, and could start along with Vinicius Jr.
