Brazil media: Ancelotti proposed 18 players for WC squad, no Neymar, Endrick

Brazilian media "bolavip" exposed that Brazil National Team head coach Ancelotti is facing a "Happy Problem". Following the large-scale matches approach, the Italian coach is still deciding the final squad list for World Cup.

According to the report, Ancelotti has decided 18 players, with 8 more seats still left vacant. Unsurprisingly, Neymar will be the huge question mark in this list.

However, on the attackers, there is still one doubtful seat: there is a fierce qualifying competition between Endrick and Rayan, the Bournemouth 19-year-old youngster. 

Endrick is rented by Real Madrid to Marseille, and he is at the peak of his career in Ligue 1. Countless goals, he is fully used to score at the French top league.

Rayan stays longer at Bournemouth, and his performance at the team so far worths other teams to pay for his transfer fee. 

Aside from these two, Ancelotti also considers other options, for example, Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal. Notably, Anthony from Real Betis is not in this tempporary list. 

Ancelotti's 18-player squad list, according to ESPN:

Alisson, Militao, Gabriel, Alex Sandro, Douglas Santos, Casemiro, Andrey Santos, Bruno Guimaraes, Paqueta, Rodrygo, Joao Pedro, Vinicius Jr, Luiz Henrique, Estevao, Martinelli, Cunha, Raphinha
