Real Madrid right-back Antonia is likely to miss the semi-final after she sat out the win over France due to an injury issue.
Rafaelle Souza was forced off in the second half of Saturday’s quarter-final and is now set to be ruled out of Tuesday’s semi-final clash.

Montse Tome could keep faith with the front three of Athenea del Castillo, Mariona Caldentey and Salma Paralluelo.
Brazil possible starting lineup: Lorena; Thais, Tarciane, Lauren, Yasmim; Jheniffer, Duda, Vitoria, Adriana; Nunes, Portilho
Spain possible starting lineup: Coll; Batlle, Paredes, Aleixandri, Carmona; Bonmati, Abelleira, Putellas; Del Castillo, Caldentey, Paralluelo
We say: Brazil 1-2 Spain
Brazil produced a valiant display in the group-stage meeting between the two nations despite having to play the second half with 10 players.
We believe a determined Brazil side will trouble Spain in Tuesday’s quarter-final, but we ultimately feel that Spain’s extra quality will shine through to give them a narrow victory.
