The Brazilian National Team's starter will be out for about two months, returning only in the second half of April.

The matches against France and Croatia - both in the United States - will be on March 26 and 31.

Still according to the report, the Newcastle midfielder will travel to Brazil for treatment with Rodrigo Lasmar, the National Team's doctor.

Captain of the English club and a fan favorite, he has nine goals and six assists this season. 

Ancelotti is also unlikely to count on Éder Militão, who is recovering from a tear in the biceps femoris muscle of his left leg.

The tendency is for him to become an option for Real Madrid precisely at the end of March.

Bruno Guimarães is a certain name for the World Cup alongside Casemiro in the midfield.

Who could Ancelotti test against France and Croatia in the absence of the Newcastle player?
