Neymar, Richarlison, Raphinha and the Brazil forwards battling for World Cup berths

With the World Cup now less than 10 months away, Brazil are already facing a welcome selection dilemma.

Tite's team, who have already clinched qualification to Qatar, possess a wealth of talent in attack, and that enviable depth is one of the reasons why they have managed to negotiate the CONMEBOL qualifiers with such ease, as several players have stepped up to cover the absences of established forward stars like Neymar, Richarlison and Roberto Firmino over the past months.

Once the main event comes around, however, Tite will only be able to take 23 players on the plane, and there are bound to be some disappointed players, particularly up front, where competition for places is fiercest.

GOAL takes a look at the main contenders for Brazil's World Cup plans, with some almost assured of their spot and others racing against time to make their case as the Selecao seek their sixth win in football's biggest, most prestigious tournament.
