The boss of Brazil, Ancelotti, remembers Vinicius while the minor injury maintains Joao Pedro de Chelsea
Vinicius Junior was recalled in the Brazil team for their next friendly matches in the Far East.
After obtaining a qualification for the 2026 World Cup, Brazil will start its preparations for the tournament by facing South Korea in Seoul on October 10 before meeting Japan at Chofu four days later.
Real Madrid star Vinicius was not part of the Brazil team final in the World Cup qualifying earlier this month in the middle of a disappointing form and questions about his future.
But his former boss of Madrid, Ancelotti, recalled both Vinicius and the teammate of Los Blancos, Rodrygo, who experienced difficulties for the regular playing time under Xabi Alonso but provided a assist during the 5-0 victory of the Champions League against Kairat on Tuesday.
EDER Militao de Madrid is also included despite an ankle problem that prevented him from Kairat’s defeat.
Brazil leaves Joao Pedro
Neymar, Raphinha, Marquinhos and Alisson lacks injuries, while Encelotti revealed that a minor injury had led him to leave Joao Pedro de Chelsea out of the team.
His absence gives Igor Jesus of Nottingham Forest another chance of impressing.
Igor Jesus scored during his beginnings for Brazil against Chile last October, although he did not present for Selecao since the 1-1 draw with Uruguay in November.
The 24 -year -old scored four goals in seven games for Forest, but with none in the Premier League.
“Joao Pedro has a minor physical problem and is not 100%,” said Ancelotti at a press conference.
“We prefer that he can recover his best level calmly during this international break. It is therefore a physical problem, and Igor Jesus is an attacker who has a very distinct line.
“I believe that a national team, in an important competition like the World Cup, must have a central attacker of this characteristic, very strong in the region, an air threat, an player who fights a lot and has quality in duels.
“I think the national team must have other attackers in this idea of ​​the profile of Igor Jesus, it could be Kaio Jorge [from Cruzeiro]It could be Pedro de Flamengo. »»
Jelinton de Newcastle United also returns to the team after missing the final qualifications due to an injury.
