- Carlo Ancelotti previously attributed the omission to a minor issue and emphasized the need for full physical readiness.
- Brazil face Chile on Wednesday before traveling to Bolivia next week, and the current squad does not include Neymar.
- Ancelotti’s 25-man selection features forwards such as Estêvão, Gabriel Martinelli, João Pedro, Kaio Jorge, Luiz Henrique, Matheus Cunha, Raphinha and Richarlison.
- Neymar also criticized a stoppage-time VAR offside decision that nullified a potential Santos winner against Fluminense.
