Ligue 1 full-backs are popular in Brazil since Vanderson and Abner have been called up for Brazil’s next rally.
Brazilian full-backs Vanderson, from AS Monaco, and Abner, from Olympique Lyonnais, were selected on Friday by coach Dorival Junior to face Chile and Peru in October, during the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Abner, 24, was called up for the first time, while Vanderson, 23, had already played two matches for the national team last year. Ligue 1 will therefore have three representatives within the Seleçao: the Parisian Marquinhos, one of the executives of this Brazilian team, was logically summoned, but his teammate Beraldo is not part of the list. The latter remained on the bench during the last two matches, against Ecuador (1-0 victory), and Paraguay (0-1 defeat).
In attack, the five-time world champions will once again have their Real Madrid trio available (Vinicius, Rodrygo and Endrick), as well as the returning Raphinha, author of a good start to the season with Barça, and Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) .
In Santiago, against Chile, on October 10, then at home against Peru, on the 15th, in Brasilia, Brazil will try to revive against the last two in the ranking, after losing four of its last five matches during these qualifiers. . The Seleção is only fifth, with ten points, one more than the play-off place (7th), currently occupied by Paraguay.
