Ancelotti addresses Endrick's Brazil role amid Neymar's absence

Carlo Ancelotti clarified why Endrick has not yet played for Brazil in the World Cup, particularly with Neymar sidelined due to a calf injury.

Ancelotti emphasized that Endrick's involvement will come at the right moment and is being managed separately from Neymar's situation. He stated that Brazil plans to use Endrick effectively, reiterating the importance of timing in his deployment. The strategy indicates a cautious approach as Brazil looks toward knockout rounds.
