Gerson, from Flamengo, is called up to the Brazilian team; Check out the full list

Coach Dorival Júnior released, this Friday (27), the list of the Brazilian team for the next games in the World Cup qualifiers, calling up Gerson, from Flamengo. The midfielder, who was among the four red-and-black names on the coach's pre-list, will be part of the team in the matches against Chile and Peru, scheduled for the 10th and 15th of October. There is concern about the possibility of an absence in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil.

It is worth remembering that Gerson and Pedro were called up for the last games, but the striker suffered an injury that will rule him out of the rest of the season. Despite having had few opportunities, the midfielder maintains his place among the squad. The other players on the preliminary list, Ayrton Lucas, Fabrício Bruno and Léo Ortiz, were discarded by Dorival.

Check the complete list:

Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Bento (Al Nassr) and Ederson (Manchester City);

Side-backs: Danilo (Juventus), Vanderson (Monaco), Guilherme Arana (Atlético-MG) and Abner (Lyon);

Defenders: Bremer (Juventus), Éder Militão (Real Madrid), Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal) and Marquinhos (PSG);

Midfielders: André (Wolverhampton), Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle), Gerson (Flamengo), Lucas Paquetá (West Ham) and Rodrygo (Real Madrid);

Forwards: Endrick (Palmeiras), Igor Jesus (Botafogo), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Raphinha (Barcelona), Luiz Henrique (Botafogo), Savinho (Manchester City) and Vini Jr (Real Madrid).

This is Gerson's second call-up this season. The Flamengo midfielder was also on coach Dorival Júnior's last list, when Brazil faced Ecuador and Paraguay. At the time, Gerson was on the bench in both matches and entered the field in both. The midfielder has been one of Rubro-Negro's main players this year and receives constant praise despite the team's bad phase.
