Vanderson ruled out of Seleção through injury, sidelined for six weeks | OneFootball

The full-back Vanderson, who was cut from the last call-up of the Brazilian National Team due to a left hamstring injury, will be absent for a period of “six weeks,” stated Monaco's coach, Adi Hütter, this Friday.

“He was unlucky, we are very sad for him. It's the second call-up and the second time an injury prevents him from traveling,” said Hütter in a press conference.

Recovery

The absence “will be a few weeks, for sure,” said the coach, before making a more precise estimate: “I think it will be about six weeks.”

At the end of August, Vanderson suffered a calf injury and was cut from coach Carlo Ancelotti's call-up for the last double round of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

National Team Schedule

Qualified for next year's World Cup, Brazil will play two friendlies in Asia, against South Korea and Japan, on October 10 and 14, respectively. To replace Vanderson, Ancelotti called up Vitinho from Botafogo.

Absences at Monaco

Besides the Brazilian full-back, Monaco will have eight other absences for the game against Nice on Sunday, in the French Championship. The club reaches the 7th round in fourth place, three points behind the leader Paris Saint-Germain.
