The latest on the choices of the Italian coach for the last two qualifying games at the 2026 World Cup. The disqualification of the Real striker opens the doors to O’Ney?
Don’t forget. The appointment is for Monday 25 August. Carlo Ancelotti will convene the players for the last two games of Brazil to the World Cup qualifying: on September 4 with Chile al Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro, and then the trip to Bolivia, on the 9th of the same month in El Alto. The Italian coach team already has a passport in advance for the USA, Canada and Mexico 2026. It will be the second call of Ancelotti since he has taken on the helm of Verdeoro. And some rumors have already leaked.

Before the official call, you send a wider list with more names than those that will be summoned. And the Globoesportte.com website anticipates that Real Madrid’s jewel will be saved this time. Vinícius Júnior is disqualified for the race with Chile for the sum of warnings. So Ancelotti, who had trained him to the Spanish club, would have preferred to leave him out also for the game in Bolivia, which will be played at over 4 thousand meters above sea level, a true nightmare of Brazilian clubs and national teams. Instead, the same site bets on the possibility that the Madridisti Militão, defender, and the striker Rodrygo are called.
Neymar
–
Absent from the Brazilian national team since the defeat with the Uruguay of 17 October 2023, Neymar has a good chance of returning after being persecuted by injuries. Ancelotti himself had said, on the occasion of his first call from CT of Brazil, at the end of May, that he would have counted on him for future games. Meanwhile, Neymar must recover from the blow that Santos suffered last Sunday (0-6) with Vasco da Gama in the Brazilian championship.
Kaio Jorge
–
With unconscious passages between Juventus and Frosinone, Kaio Jorge can now debut in the national team in Brazil. The former black and white is the top scorer of the Brazilian Serie A ongoing with 14 goals: for many he was the best player in the first leg of Brazilirão.
Cerezo
–
Last Sunday Carlo Ancelotti went to Belo Horizonte to see Atléico Mineiro-Grêmio (1-3) for the Brazilian championship. He followed the game next to Toninho Cerezo, his partner on the pitch at the time of Rome. Cerezo had also played with Atléico Mineiro.
