Paulo Henrique, right-back for Vasco, has been called up to defend the Brazilian National Team in the friendlies against South Korea and Japan.

He replaces Wesley, who was injured this Sunday (5) during Roma's victory over Fiorentina.

This is the first call-up of Paulo Henrique's career, at 29 years old.

He has played 47 matches this season, with four goals and five assists. He has been with Cruz-Maltino since March 2023.

Sunday began with Ederson being cut and John, formerly of Botafogo, being called up.

Ancelotti had already lost the other called-up right-back: Vanderson from Monaco. Vitinho from Botafogo was called up.

The Brazilian National Team will have a complete delegation this Monday (6) and already in Seoul, the location of the friendly against the hosts next Friday (10).

Then, on the following Tuesday (14), Brazil will challenge Japan in Tokyo.

Hugo Souza, Fabrício Bruno, and now Paulo Henrique are not expected to play for their respective teams on Wednesday (15), the day that marks the start of the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
