Brazil line-up: Ancelotti backs Estêvão and João Pedro against Chile | OneFootball

The lineup for Brazil is set for the clash with Chile, this Thursday, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the penultimate round of the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup.

The complete lineup for Brazil includes Alisson; Wesley, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, and Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, and Raphinha; Martinelli, Estêvão, and João Pedro.

For the last two commitments of the Qualifiers, coach Carlo Ancelotti will not have Vinícius Júnior, who, suspended, could not face Chile and would travel only to play against Bolivia, a match where there is nothing at stake for Brazil anymore.

Neymar is another significant absence on the list of call-ups for this September FIFA Date. Ancelotti chose to leave him out of the squad after the player suffered an adductor edema. In a recent interview, however, Santos' number 10 assured that the national team coach's choice was a "technical option," as he was on the field against Fluminense days after the call-up.

Raphinha will wear the number 10 jersey for the Brazilian National Team in Neymar's absence. The number 7 jersey, previously worn by Vinícius Júnior, will be worn by João Pedro from Chelsea.

Already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in Canada, the USA, and Mexico, Brazil currently stands in third place in the Qualifiers, with 25 points, behind Ecuador, in second, with the same 25 points, and Argentina, the leader, with 35.

The Brazilian National Team will conclude its campaign in the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup next Tuesday, against Bolivia, in El Alto, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).
