The Brazilian network "Globo" revealed in a report that coach Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of the Brazilian national team, has decided not to call up Vinicius Junior during the upcoming international break.

The Brazilian national team will play two matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia on September 9 and 10, respectively.

According to the report, Ancelotti preferred to give the Real Madrid star a rest to alleviate physical pressure on him, especially with the intensity of matches he is preparing to face this season, both with his club and national team.

The source clarified that Vinicius will not be present against Chile due to suspension, so Carlo wants him to rest in Madrid and not travel to Bolivia for the match.

Ancelotti has not yet commented on the call-up list that will be present during the upcoming international break.
