Brazil vs Germany team news World Cup 2014: Bernard comes in for Neymar while Maicon keeps his place in front of Dani Alves
The Shakhtar forward gets the nod ahead of Willian
Bernard has been named as Neymar's replacement for Brazil's World Cup semi-final against Germany.
The 21-year-old Shakhtar Donetsk forward joins Maicon in the starting XI, who keeps his place ahead of Dani Alves at right-back.
Germany are unchanged from their quarter-final win over France, meaning Miroslav Klose can surpass Ronaldo as the World Cup's highest goalscorer. Both players are currently tied on 15 goals.
Brazil: Cesar, Maicon, Dante, Luiz, Marcelo, Gustavo, Fernandinho, Hulk, Oscar, Bernard, Fred
Germany: Neuer, Hoewedes, Hummels, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Klose, Muller, Lahm, Kroos, Boateng
