With the second international break of the 2025/26 season just around the corner, Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has announced the squad list of players he will be calling up for their upcoming matches.
After not calling up any Real Madrid player for their games in September, the Selecao manager has included three stars from the Spanish capital club in the squad this time around.

Indeed, Eder Militao, Rodrygo Goes, and Vinicius Jr. all make their return to the Brazil squad as they get set to take on South Korea (10 October) and Japan (14 October) in two friendly encounters in Asia.
However, the fourth Brazilian in the Real Madrid squad – Endrick – does not make the cut, which is not a surprise, considering he has not played a single minute this season after only recently returning from an injury.
As for Militao, Vinicius, and Rodrygo, two of the three stars are expected to be a key part of Ancelotti’s plans for the FIFA World Cup, with the latter’s spot under some threat after a disappointing run of form.
As such, Rodrygo will use these upcoming games as a chance to prove himself to Ancelotti and establish himself in the Canarinha setup once again.
