Vinicius Junior could not wear the Brazilian jersey last month. However, after a month's break, he returned to the national team. Meanwhile, Neymar returned to the field after recovering from injury, but coach Darival Jr. did not include him in the team.

Vinicius returned to the team announced last Friday after recovering from injury. He was not in the team in the last international window due to 'injury'. Although he played for Real Madrid in the two matches just before and after the window.
Neymar was not included in this team. He returned to the field after recovering from injury in the Asian Champions League match last week. And in that match, Al Hilal defeated Al Ain 5-4. However, Brazil wants to wait longer with Neymar. Coach Darival wants to include him in the team only after he is fully fit.

Meanwhile, the omission of another person has also made headlines. Endric, who was in the team announced the last two times, has been dropped from the team. He has scored 2 goals in 9 matches for Real Madrid this season. Neymar was not included in the team due to his off-form.

Brazil is currently in fourth place in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying points table. They have 16 points, 6 behind leaders Argentina. The Seleção will play against Venezuela on November 14. The team will host Uruguay five days later.
