The head coach of the Brazil national team, Carlo Ancelotti, has decided not to include Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior in the squad for the September World Cup 2026 qualifying matches against Chile and Bolivia, reports As.

Vinicius Junior

The reason is that Vinicius has already received a suspension for the match against Chile due to an accumulation of yellow cards, so Ancelotti decided to give him a full rest during the break. Instead, his teammates from Real Madrid—Eder Militao and Rodrigo, who previously missed matches due to injuries—will return to the squad.
