Brazil’s football team interim coach Ramon Menezes unveiled on Friday the list of 23 players for the friendly match against Morocco on 25 March, marked by the absence of Neymar and the first call-up of Vitor Roque.
Vitor Roque and Andrey Santos, stars of the national under-20 team, will accompany other big names such as Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Casemiro and Militão.
Neymar will miss the friendly match due to injury, although the coach said that the doors of the national team continue to be open to “all” those who participated in the World Cup” 2022 in Qatar.
The list is marked by the absence of Gabriel Martinelli, Pedro, Raphinha, and the goalkeeper Alisson, as well as by the call-up of nine players for the first time.
Among them, Vítor Roque and Andrey Santos who finished as top scorers in the last Copa America under 20, won by Brazil, with six goals each.
Compared to the squad that played in the World Cup in Qatar, in which Brazil was eliminated in the quarterfinals, only eleven players were selected.
