The problems for Dorival Junior’s Brazil continue. After the injuries of Savinho and Pedro, replaced respectively by Lucas Moura and Joao Pedro, Eder Militao also left the retreat due to a muscle problem. New tests are planned to understand how long he will have to spend in the pits, but he will probably miss the Champions League match against Real Sociedad. Now it remains to be seen whether or not a replacement will be called. In that case, a call for Gleison Bremer of Juventus, who had surprisingly remained out.
Below is the updated list of Seleçao players called up:
Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Bento (Al-Nassr) and Ederson (Manchester City).
