João Pedro injury threatens his inclusion in Brazil's upcoming squad

Doubts are increasing over João Pedro's potential inclusion in Brazil's upcoming squad, which coach Carlo Ancelotti is set to announce on Thursday, October 29, in preparation for friendlies against Japan and Singapore in November.

According to Brazilian media reports, João Pedro suffered a muscle injury in his thigh during Chelsea's training last Friday, which ruled him out of the match against Tottenham. He is also confirmed to be absent for the upcoming fixtures for the English team.

Chelsea manager Chabi Alonso has confirmed that João Pedro will be out for several weeks, without specifying a definitive return date. This raises significant doubts about his participation with the Brazil national team during the upcoming international break.

Carlo Ancelotti is expected to make a decision on Brazilian forward João Pedro when the official squad is announced, as current information suggests it will be difficult to call him up due to injury. Meanwhile, the Brazil national team is preparing to face Japan on November 14, before meeting Singapore on the 17th of the same month.
