The Brazilian team will not be complete in this year’s World Cup. Coach Carlo Ancelotti will be without three important athletes for the team’s system: defender Éder Militão, who also plays on the right flank, and attackers Rodrygo and Estêvão.
The three players did not even appear on the list of 55 pre-summoned squads for the World Cup. The loss will be felt by the Italian coach, especially due to the loss of the team’s top scorer in his cycle.
Estêvão was the one who scored the most since Ancelotti’s arrival at the helm of the Brazilian national team. The Chelsea player has played seven games, five as a starter, and scored five goals.
Estêvão suffered a serious grade 4 muscle injury to his right thigh during the game between Chelsea and Manchester United. The 19-year-old boy was expecting to play in his first World Cup.
Real Madrid duo out
The most serious case of absence from the Brazilian team is that of striker Rodrygo, from Real Madrid. The 25-year-old suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus in his right knee in March. He has already undergone surgery and is still recovering.
Rodrygo played four times with Ancelotti in the national team, three times as a starter. He has a goal and an assist.
To conclude, another Real Madrid player is out of the World Cup. Defender Éder Militão, who sometimes plays as a winger, underwent surgery because of a rupture in the proximal tendon of the biceps femoris muscle in his left leg. The recovery time is long and, therefore, he will not be called up for the national team.
Éder Militão was another member of the . The defender has played three times, all as a starter, since the Italian’s arrival.
