Who were the biggest omissions? Fans react to Brazil squad announcement 🇧🇷 Carlo Ancelotti announced Brazil's squad for the upcoming international break on Thursday (29). And some omissions from the squad for the matches against Japan and Singapore drew particular attention on social media. The CBF made it clear that it avoided calling up players from Flamengo and Palmeiras, who are battling for the Brasileirão title. Flamengo, for example, had four players on the preliminary list: Emerson Royal, Paquetá, Samuel Lino and Pedro. There was also a limit of just one call-up per Brazilian club represented in the squad. It is worth remembering that João Pedro and Marquinhos are injured. And goalkeeper Alisson, according to Ancelotti, does not need to be tested. Check out the players whose omissions sparked the most discussion below. Lucas Arcanjo - Vitória He is one of the busiest goalkeepers in this Brasileirão campaign. And he has been making the difference in keeping Vitória out of the relegation zone. The inclusion of Lucas Perri and Bento raised further questions about the Vitória player's omission. Luciano Juba - Bahia He is a nailed-on starter and a standout performer for Bahia. The left-back was even tipped to play at the World Cup, but an injury did him no favors. He has maintained his high standards but has yet to earn a call-up since the World Cup. He has 11 goals in the Brasileirão alone. Kaiki Bruno - Como The former Cruzeiro left-back is not a regular starter for Fàbregas's side, but he is already making an impression. He has one goal and two assists in nine games. He has been earning plenty of praise. Matheus Pereira - Cruzeiro Cruzeiro's No. 10 ended up "losing out" because of the one-player-per-Brazilian-club limit. He has 14 goals and 12 assists this season. He still has just one senior Brazil appearance to his name. Gabigol The Santos striker is enjoying a very strong 2026: he has 25 goals and ten assists this year. Ancelotti said he is keeping an eye on the No. 9. Kaio Jorge - Cruzeiro Cruzeiro's goalscorer is another player enjoying a strong season: 21 goals and four assists. He would give Brazil another option for an out-and-out No. 9, a role expected to be filled by Raphinha or Endrick. Do you agree with these picks, or is someone else missing? Have your say!
