For the match against Venezuela, Brazil will line up Ederson as a goalkeeper, Vanderson, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães et Abner in defense, Bruno Guimaraes, Gerson et Raphinha in midfield, and Savinho, Vinicius Junior et Igor Jesus in attack. This was confirmed by coach Dorival Junior on Wednesday.
The team will be the same as the one that started against Peru in the last round of the qualifiers, the only novelty being Vinicius, absent from the last call-up due to injury.
Rodrygo’s absence is due to the fact that the striker will be sidelined for at least a month due to an injury “to the anterior right of the left leg” which he suffered during the first half of the match between Real Madrid and Osasuna last Saturday, as confirmed by the Spanish club.
Brazil enters the duel against the “Vinotinto” having improved its recent form thanks to victories against Chile (1-2) and Peru (4-0), while Venezuela is coming off an away defeat against Paraguay (2-1) and a draw at home against Argentina (1-1).
