Brazil boss Dorival Junior did not hold back in his explanation over omitting Real Madrid forward Endrick Felipe from his latest squad.
The Samba Boys face two vital FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers later this month against Venezuela and Uruguay as they look to push for qualification.
Two wins from two games in October bolstered their position to fourth in the CONMEBOL rakings with only the top six qualifying automatically.
Los Blancos attacker Rodrygo Goes retains his place with recalls for Vinicius Junior and Eder Militao return after missing out last month through injury.
However, there is no place for 18-year-old Endrick Felipe, with Dorvial Junior firm about his lack of action keeping him out of the panel.
“We have no time for training or to make players return in good form. Are they performing or not? That’s the question to answer”, he said.
These matches are Brazil’s final games of 2024 before qualification double headers in March and June 2025 to decide their place at the tournament in 2026.

A talented players don't have to play regularly to be in a good form.. you don't have to play him 90 minutes, just 5 minutes enough for them to change the game and save your team..
Tell that to his Real Madrid coach

Tomorrow, people will still argue that Messi had an easy career start than Ronaldo. They forget that breaking into a star-studded squad is not an easy task to achieve. Endrick and Arda Gülar is a case study for those clueless fan based.

Since the last international break, Kendrick has not had any competitive minutes under his belt, so to me it is fair to drop him

Brazil must use trio Vini-Endrick-Rodygo.. because by playing in the same club, training together daily then the chemistry between them is there..
Raphina is playing on that right wing spot

This kid either plays or is given a loan to improve his quality It's sad playing for a big side because these are the risk factors that come with it.especially when big players are in the stacking order above you.
