Coach Fernando Diniz led the first training session last Tuesday (10) with the complete group of players called up for the Brazilian team, aiming for the games against Venezuela, on the 12th, and Uruguay, on the 17th, both valid 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Forward Vinicius Jr participated in the activities as a starter and will be one of the coach's new faces. Recovered from injury and scoring goals at Real Madrid, Vini inherits Raphinha's place among the starters who started in the last match with Fernando Diniz.

The Barcelona player was cut from this squad due to an injury. Real Madrid's number 7 was not in the first rounds of the Qualifiers due to an injury to the biceps femoris of his thigh.
