Headline: Brazil Squad Announced for Asia Tour Ahead of Upcoming Friendlies
Brazil’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti has unveiled the squad for the upcoming tour of Asia, coinciding with the second international break of the 2026/27 season. The national team, known as the Selecao, is set to compete in back-to-back friendly matches against Japan on November 14 and Singapore on November 17.
Ancelotti has included two key players from Real Madrid in the squad: Vinicius Jr. and Endrick. Vinicius has become a mainstay in Brazil’s lineup under Ancelotti, proving to be a vital member of the team. The 26-year-old forward participated in all three friendly matches last month, scoring once.
Endrick, the 20-year-old striker, aims to solidify his place on the national team and continues to receive chances from Ancelotti to leave his mark. Similar to Vinicius, Endrick took part in all three of Brazil’s matches during the last break and provided one assist.
The duo will undertake a journey of approximately 11,000 kilometers for the two friendly matches. Notably, defender Eder Militao will not join the squad as he is still in recovery from a long-term injury. Meanwhile, Rodrygo remains sidelined as he continues his rehabilitation following an ACL rupture.
