Carlo Ancelotti will benefit from those two games to make way for other 'local' players
Rodrygo Goes does not play for Brazil in the September window, Marca was able to confirm. Carlo Ancelotti will not call him or Vinicius (he has a suspension of one match) for the latter two World Cup qualifying matches against Chile (Matchday 4) and Bolivia (Matchday 9).
The reason is not technical or a lack of trust in both sides. The Brazilian coach will take advantage of the start of the season in Europe to call more players from the local competition and less of the big competitions, also in view of the fact that these two games are only formalities, because Brazil has already qualified for the World Cup 2026. In fact, there will be no “European” players play on the Bolivia match.
Rodrygo, let's remember, did not even play a minute for Real Madrid in La Liga on MatchDay 1. His continuity status seems uncertain, although there are only a few days in the transfer window and nobody cuts anything.
Ancelotti wants to recruit other players who are less closely controlled by him, and that is why he will call more players for the Brasileirao this time. In October and November the team can be more “normal” and it seems that the two Real Madrid players will be there, although they are already friendly competitions in preparation for the World Cup 2026, where Rodry and Vini must be essential for “Carletto.”
