Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazil national team, has revealed the list of 23 players called up for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia.
The list, published on Monday, has brought in some new faces such as Caio Henrique, Douglas Santos and Kaio Jorge.
One detail that stands out is the total absence of Real Madrid players. Neither Vini Jr (suspended for the first match) nor Rodrygo are on the list, paving the way for new names, but Neymar is also missing, who seems to have been left out due to injury.
In total, there are nine changes compared to the previous list: Caio Henrique, Douglas Santos, Fabricio Bruno, Gabriel Magalhães, Joelinton, Lucas Paquetá, João Pedro, Kaio Jorge and Luiz Henrique.
Brazil's full list:
Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Bento (Al-Nassr), Hugo Souza (Corinthians)
Defenders: Alexsandro Ribeiro (Lille), Fabrício Bruno (Cruzeiro), Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal), Marquinhos (PSG)
Full-backs: Alex Sandro (Flamengo), Caio Henrique (Monaco), Douglas Santos (Zenit), Vanderson (Monaco), Wesley (Roma)
Midfielders: Andrey Santos (Chelsea), Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle), Casemiro (Manchester United), Joelinton (Newcastle), Lucas Paquetá (West Ham)
Forwards: Estêvão (Chelsea), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), João Pedro (Chelsea), Kaio Jorge (Cruzeiro), Luiz Henrique (Zenit), Matheus Cunha (Manchester United), Raphinha (Barcelona), Richarlison (Tottenham)
Brazil has already secured its place in the World Cup and will face Chile, already eliminated, on September 4 at Maracanã, and then Bolivia, who are fighting for a place in the play-offs, on September 9 in Bolivia.
