Carlo Ancelotti names Raphinha, Vinícius Jr and Endrick in Brazil squad

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has selected his latest national team roster for a series of upcoming international friendlies. The squad includes several prominent attackers from LaLiga, with Barcelona's Raphinha joining Real Madrid players Vinícius Jr and Endrick in the selection. Brazil is preparing to return to competition following their performance at this summer's World Cup. The team is scheduled to play three friendly matches starting later this month, facing Australia twice before meeting India in early October. Ancelotti aims to utilize this period to begin a transition within the squad in preparation for the 2030 World Cup. The roster reflects a continued reliance on established talent from Spain's top division despite the planned changes to the team's structure.
