Rodrygo returns to Brazil team, Neymar is removed from the list

Coach Carlo Ancelotti recalled Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Eder Militao when announcing the list of Brazil squad for the FIFA Days series in October.

Brazil's squad list for October.

The Real Madrid trio were absent from the last two matches of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America, but will return when the "Seleceo" play friendlies against South Korea and Japan this month.

Vinicius was suspended for the game against Chile and was left out by Carlo Ancelotti. Rodrygo was left out last month after playing little under Xabi Alonso. Militao, despite being injured, is still in the squad.

On the contrary, Raphinha continues to be absent due to injury, and prodigy Endrick is still not in the Italian strategist's plans.

Neymar was not called up due to a recurrence of an injury during a mid-September training session at Santos. The continued physical problems have put Neymar's future at the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico in big question.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said the team will have two more friendly matches in November, one in London against an African representative and another in Paris, likely also against an African team.

Brazil ended the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign in South America with the lowest result of all time. Coach Ancelotti and his team earned 28 points with 8 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. For the first time in the history of South American qualifying, since the application of the 10-team round-robin format, Brazil did not reach the 30-point mark.
