Carlo Ancelotti, the new head coach of Brazil, has released his first squad list, omitting notable players like Neymar Jr, Rodrygo, Ederson, and Joelinton.
Neymar’s exclusion is due to ongoing struggles with form and injuries, but Ancelotti insists the forward remains a key part of his plans.
Ancelotti stressed that Neymar’s absence from the squad is a temporary measure to allow him to recover from injury and reach peak condition for the World Cup.
Truth Live News reports that the Brazilian team will face Ecuador and Paraguay in upcoming World Cup qualifiers under Ancelotti’s guidance.
