Major Absences / Surprises
There have been big names that did not make the cut in Brazil squad list. Thiago Silva, ex-captain of the team, and still playing at top club level at Porto at 41 years of age, was not selected. Same with Tottenham striker, Richarlison and Betis Winger Antony. The injuries hampered the participation of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo and Chelsea’s hitman Estevao.
