Carlo Ancelotti had to make a last-minute change to the list of players called up for the Brazilian National Team for the FIFA international break. As a result, goalkeeper Hugo Souza, formerly of Flamengo, took the place of Alisson from Liverpool (ENG).
Hugo Souza was called up at the last minute for Brazil's upcoming matches because Alisson had to be cut due to an injury. Thus, the current goalkeeper for Corinthians joins Bento and Ederson in the ‘Amarelinha’ squad.
Given this situation, Hugo Souza joins the Brazilian National Team squad that will play against France and Croatia in the United States. It's important to note that this is the last call-up Ancelotti will make before the final squad for the World Cup, which kicks off in June.
Yes! Ancelotti called up Alex Sandro, Danilo, and Léo Pereira for Brazil's upcoming matches. The number 4, who is enjoying a great run in the 2026 season, will even be making his debut with the ‘Amarelinha’.

During this FIFA international break, Brazil faces France next Thursday (26th), at 5:00 PM (Brasília time), in the United States. Next, still on North American soil, the ‘Canarinho’ faces Croatia on March 31st, in Orlando.
