Neymar, Luiz not available or fragile Brazil

Brazil will be without Barcelona star Neymar and Paris Saint-Germain defender David Luiz on Tuesday when it faces a tricky 2018 World Cup qualifying trip to Paraguay with renewed uncertainty swirling around its campaign.

The Brazilians are licking their wounds after the disappointment of Friday's 2-2 draw with Uruguay, when they squandered a two-goal lead and finished the game clinging on for the point.

For the opening half hour in Recife, Brazil was irresistible, attacking with precision and purpose in what looked like being its best performance since its 2014 World Cup semifinal debacle against Germany.
