Carlos Augusto, from Inter Milan and Yan Couto, from Girona, were called up this Friday by the Brazilian team for the matches that the ‘canarinh’a will play against Venezuela and Uruguay in the South American qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup.
Defenders will replace full-backs Renan Lodi (Olympique de Marseille) and Vanderson (Monaco), both injured, according to the coach’s decision Fernando Diniz.
The two debutants joined David Neres, of Portuguese Benfica, who was called up by Diniz on Monday to replace Raphinha, of Barcelona, because of a thigh muscle injury.
Four casualties
In total, Brazil have four injury absences for the next two games, since last week the Brazilian coach had to call up the left back. Guilherme Arana (Atlético Mineiro) to replace Caio Henrique (Monaco), was hampered by discomfort in a knee.
Brazil will face Venezuela on October 12 at the Arena Pantanal stadium in the city of Cuiabá and Uruguay on the 17th at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo.
After victories in their first two games, the ‘canarinha’ lead the standings with 6 points, the same as Argentina, which they surpassed due to their better goal balance.
