Carlo Ancelotti arrives in Brazil to take over as head coach (1:27)Open Extended ReactionsNew Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti has left Neymar out of his first squad and has brought back Casemiro, Richarlison and Antony for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Brazil has been without its talisman since October 2023, when he tore his left ACL and meniscus while on international duty. Tottenham forward Richarlison and Manchester United midfielder Casemiro have not played for the national team since October 2023. Neymar has been left out of Brazil's squad while Vinícius Júnior has been picked. I am totally convinced that Vini will show his true colors with his national team."
