Kaka, Elano and Robinho are set to return to Brazil's starting lineup for the second-round match against Chile on Monday, giving the team a much-needed offensive boost.
Coach Dunga may not be able to count on defensive midfielder Felipe Melo, however, who sustained a left ankle injury in Brazil's 0-0 draw against Portugal on Friday in the teams' final Group G match.
Kaka will be back after a suspension for a red card against Ivory Coast, while Elano should be fit after recovering from a right ankle injury that left him out of Friday's match in Durban.
Robinho was rested against Portugal after a minor thigh problem, but Brazil doctor Jose Luis Runco said Saturday the striker can return against Chile.
