Brazil have announced their squad for next month's vital 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, but there have been some big-name players left out.

Selecao coach Dorival Junior is certainly under pressure as his side sit fifth on the South American World Cup qualifying table.

The five-time world champions face an away to trip to Chile on 11 October, before they host Peru five days later.

There is still no place in the side for Manchester United duo Casemiro and Antony, while Richarlison remains out for the South American giants.

Neymar returned to training for Al Hilal earlier this week, but Dorival has decided against picking the talisman and urged for patience.

"We know how important he is... We're waiting for him, we need to be patient. It doesn't matter if he doesn't return in October, November or just in February," Dorival said on Friday, as per SuperSport.

"He has to be confident and fully recovered."

Full Squad:

Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Bento (Al-Nassr), Ederson (Manchester City).

Defenders: Danilo (Juventus), Vanderson (Monaco) Abner (Lyon), Guilherme Arana (Atletico Mineiro) Bremer (Juventus) Éder Militão (Real Madrid), Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal), Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain).

Midfielders: André (Wolverhampton), Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle), Gerson (Flamengo), Lucas Paquetá (West Ham).

Forwards: Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Endrick (Real Madrid), Vinicius Júnior (Real Madrid), Luiz Henrique (Botafogo), Igor Jesus (Botafogo), Savinho (Manchester City), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Raphinha (Barcelona).
