Vanderson called up for Brazil's preparatory friendlies
Monaco's right-back replaces injured Wesley in Carlo Ancelotti's squad for matches against Australia and India.
By Editorial team
Carlo Ancelotti has called up Vanderson (Monaco) in place of Wesley for Brazil's preparatory friendlies during the FIFA window. Wesley is sidelined by an injury that keeps him out of the squad. The 25-year-old fullback returns to the national team to face Australia (September 25 and 29) and India (October 3). These matches will allow the Auriverde to fine-tune their preparation ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
