Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has released his squad list for the upcoming November friendlies against Japan and Singapore. The selection process notably excluded players from Flamengo and Palmeiras, as the coaching staff aimed to support both clubs during the decisive stages of the Brasileirão.
Addressing the absence of Santos forward Gabigol, Ancelotti praised the player but clarified his policy of limiting call-ups to one athlete per Brazilian club. Consequently, midfielder Gabriel Bontempo was selected from Santos. Meanwhile, Botafogo's Danilo faces a potential absence for his club's crucial match against Corinthians in the 35th round. Manchester City's Allan expressed his excitement regarding his debut call-up, describing the opportunity to represent his country as a childhood dream.
