On bench against Croatia Sandro (groin) made the bench for Friday's quarterfinal against Croatia.

Considered questionable Sandro (groin) is considered questionable to feature in Friday's match against Croatia after just returning in Thursday's training session, according to Mario Cortegana of AS.

Impact Sandro is the last healthy left-back available so his absence for a third game would be notable. Pending his status, Danilo could continue to start at left-back but Sandro is likely to be the top option.

Seven clearances versus Serbia Sandro had one off-target shot, made seven clearances and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Thursday's 2-0 win over Serbia.

Impact Sandro was part of a defensive line that completely shut the opposition down and, despite having limited fantasy impact offensively, he went up the field several times and almost opened the scoring for Brazil at the hour mark but his long-range shot ended up hitting the post. Two-way upside is always there for the left-back when he plays for his national team and he'll try to remain productive during Sunday's clash against Switzerland.
