The Brazilian team s roster has caused heated discussion! Neymar missed due to injury, why did Vinicius and Rodrigo lose?

The Brazilian national team announced the training roster for the new FIFA match day, among which the three core players were absent, attracting attention. Currently, the "Samba Legion" has been locked in the 2026 World Cup qualification, and Ancelotti decided not to call Neymar, Vinicius and Rodrigo in the roster of the last two rounds of this World Cup qualifier (versus Chile and Bolivia).

Why are Neymar, Vinicius and Rodrigo absent?

According to Italian coach Ancelotti, Neymar was not selected due to physical problems. The star who plays for Santos has not been called by Brazil in nearly two years, and the outside world has had high expectations for his return. However, given that Brazil has advanced to the World Cup ahead of schedule, the former Real Madrid coach is unwilling to take the risk of allowing him to participate.

At the press conference, Ancelotti said: "Nemar's absence is because he has had a little situation in the past week, but we don't need to examine him - everyone knows his abilities. We need him to return to the team when he is in the best physical condition so that he can help the team in the World Cup."

, on the other hand, the absence of Vinicius and Rodrigo is due to Ancelotti's "hope to inspect more new players" when Brazil has secured a World Cup spot. In addition, Vinicius will be suspended after the cumulative yellow cards against Chile; and he has not been on the team's primary list before, so this absence is not surprising.

Ancelotti explained at the press conference: "The idea of ​​this call is to examine players I have not yet understood. Although I have a technical understanding of some players, I hope to contact more candidates who can contribute to the national team. Those unselected players performed well in previous training camps, and I would like to express my gratitude for this." Cruzero club striker Kaio Jorge is the only new face on this list.

Will there be any player withdrawal due to injury?

Newcastle United midfielder Jolinton left the court with tears in his eyes after being injured against Liverpool. Currently, we need to wait for the club's official diagnosis to confirm whether he will withdraw from Ancelotti's training camp and who will replace him. The midfielder had started in Brazil's 1-4 loss to Argentina, and that loss also resulted in the sacking of former coach Dorival Jr.
