DOHA (Reuters) - World Cup favourites Brazil held their first training session on Sunday but frustrated the hundreds of journalists at the Al Arabi Stadium hoping to see a possible starting eleven ahead of their World Cup Group G opener against Serbia on Thursday.

The five-times world champions are loaded with talent but coach Tite is keeping Brazil's cards close to their chest over the system and players he will use in their first match, with the biggest question mark surrounding Vinicius Jr.

"Yet, regardless of who plays from the start, we are all prepared, we know what the plan is and what we have to do.Brazil started their World Cup preparations at the Juventus training facilities in Italy on Monday, where they held a five-day camp before flying to Doha on Saturday. With no 11-on-11 practice match, however, there were no signs of which players he is planning to start with.
