Rodrigo and Raphinha Excluded from International Break
Brazilian national team coach Carlo Ancelotti has decided to exclude Real Madrid forward Rodrigo Goes and Barcelona winger Raphinha from the squad for the upcoming international break.
According to journalist Ramon Alvarez, the decision is part of Ancelotti's plan to give new players a chance in the upcoming period, which is why he decided to exclude Rodrigo and Raphinha, in addition to Vinicius Junior.
This approach reflects Ancelotti's desire to diversify his options less than a year before the 2026 World Cup next summer.
It is noteworthy that the Brazilian national team will face Chile and Bolivia on September 9 and 10, respectively.
