Fabinho hints Brazil coach has made team news decision on Antony vs Cameroon at World Cup

Manchester United winger Antony could be handed his first World Cup start for Brazil when they face Cameroon on Friday evening, after Liverpool midfielder Fabinho revealed that national team coach Tite is set to make a handful of changes.

Antony missed out on United's final three Premier League games against West Ham, Aston Villa and Fulham through injury, but the former Ajax man recovered in time to achieve his dream of playing for Brazil at the World Cup. The 22-year-old has had to battle against illness while in Qatar, but could now be about to line-up for his South American side for their final group stage match.

Fellow Red Casemiro stole the headlines during Brazil's last game against Switzerland, as he scored with a searing outside-of-the-foot strike in the 83rd minute to claim all three points. The result meant that Tite's side have already qualified for the round of 16 with a game to spare.
