Star out, duo on the radar: Brazil's preliminary squad brings surprises | OneFootball

The preliminary list for the Brazilian National Team for the upcoming FIFA Date has a significant absence and at least two new additions.

According to GE, Vini Júnior will not be called up. However, Éder Militão and Rodrygo are on the preliminary list and may return to the National Team.

Vini Jr is suspended for one game in the Qualifiers. Absent against Chile, he could play against Bolivia at high altitude.

But coach Carlo Ancelotti prefers to spare the Real Madrid forward from the trip to the 4,100-meter altitude.

Meanwhile, Militão and Rodrygo, also from Real, may reappear - they were absent in the last call-up.

Last week, OneFootball had already reported that Neymar is also on the preliminary list for the Brazilian National Team.

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

Brazil will face Chile on September 4, a Thursday, at 9:30 PM, at 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, these two games will serve as "tests" with an eye on the World Cup.
