Star out, duo on the radar: Brazil’s preliminary squad set for surprises

The Brazilian national team's preliminary list for the next FIFA date has a notable absence and at least two new additions.

According to GE, Vini Jr. will not be called up. Éder Militão and Rodrygo, on the other hand, are on the preliminary list and may return to the national team.

Vini Jr. is suspended for one game in the Qualifiers. Apart from being out against Chile, he could have played against Bolivia at high altitude.

However, coach Carlo Ancelotti prefers to leave the Real Madrid striker out of the trip to the 4,100-meter altitude.

While Vini Jr. is out, Militão and Rodrygo (also from Real) - absentees in the last call-up - may reappear.

GE did not release any other names on the preliminary list. The final list of call-ups will be released next Monday (25).

Brazil will face Chile on September 4, a Friday, at 9:30 PM, at the Maracanã.

Then, they will visit Bolivia on the 9th, a Tuesday, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), in El Alto, Bolivia.

The Brazilian national team is already guaranteed a spot in the 2026 World Cup. Therefore, the two games will serve as "tests" with an eye on the World Cup.
