Brazilian national coach Tite announced his 26-man squad . One name that stood out was the 39-year-old defender Daniel Alves who was ruled out of the 2018 World Cup in Russia due to a knee ligament injury. Two names that were missing are Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho due to a thigh injury.

Forwards: Antony (Man. United), Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Neymar Jr (PSG), Pedro (Flamengo), Raphinha (Barcelona), Richarlison (Tottenham), Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)

Fermino would’ve been best for that team. I guess they plan on using Rodrygo as False 9

Brazil names their World Cup Squad… No Firmino no Coutinho 🤔

Brazil have so much talent and they still have big players missing out!

– Coutinho, who hasn’t been great and is injured
– Firmino, who’s back in good form 6 goals, 3 assists in 12 games
– Gabigol, another great yr, topped off with Copa Libertadores 🏆

I do not think Coutinho deserved to go to the World Cup, but I am definitely sad to see him “go out” through injury.

Wishing him a quick recovery.
