RIO DE JANEIRO (BRAZIL) (ITALPRESS) – Juventus defender Bremer and Roma’s Wesley are among the players called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the two friendlies that will see Brazil face France on March 26 in Boston and Croatia on March 31 in Orlando. Despite being included in the preliminary squad list, Neymar has been left out.
“If he manages to be at 100% by the time of the World Cup, he can be included,” said the Seleção head coach, leaving the door open. “He’s not here today because he’s not at 100% right now, and I need players who are fully fit at the moment. But as I said, the discussion is different when it comes to the World Cup squad. Neymar must keep working and playing, showing his qualities and maintaining good physical condition.”
Here is the squad for the two matches in the United States:
Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Bento (Al-Nassr), Ederson (Fenerbahçe)
Defenders: Alex Sandro (Flamengo), Bremer (Juventus), Danilo (Flamengo), Douglas Santos (Zenit), Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal), Ibanez (Al-Ahli), Léo Pereira (Flamengo), Marquinhos (PSG), Wesley (Roma)
Midfielders: Andrey Santos (Chelsea), Casemiro (Manchester United), Danilo (Botafogo), Fabinho (Al-Ittihad), Gabriel Sara (Galatasaray)
Forwards: Endrick (Lyon), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Igor Thiago (Brentford), João Pedro (Chelsea), Luiz Henrique (Zenit), Matheus Cunha (Manchester United), Raphinha (Barcelona), Rayan (Bournemouth), Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid).
