Richarlison news
Brazil find that everything good flows through Vini of New Jersey
The Real Madrid star was his country’s best player in their World Cup opener on Saturday. They’ll need more of the same if they are to make a deep run Vinícius Júnior is not wearing the famous Brazil No 10 at this World Cup. For now, the hallowed shirt of Pelé, Zico, Rivellino, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and all the rest belongs to Neymar.Or at least it belongs to a man faintly resembling Neymar. Now 34, he showed just enough at Santos to make Carlo Ancelotti’s squad after two lucrative but mostly wasted years in Saudi Arabia. Ancelotti could have chosen João Pedro or Richarlison or Savinho or Gabriel Jesus or Igor Jesus or, hell, even Antony, but he took Neymar. Who is injured again – a calf problem this time – and whose fitness will loom over the Brazilian campaign, just as it has at some point during every one of his four World Cups. Continue reading...
Why Richarlison is missing the 2026 World Cup for Brazil
The decision has surprised many supporters, especially given the forward’s history with the Selecao and his memorable performances on soccer’s biggest stage. Richarlison’s absence from Brazil’s FIFA World Cup squad has become one of the biggest talking points surrounding the tournament, with Carlo Ancelotti opting for a different direction as the five-time world champion prepares to chase a long-awaited sixth title. The decision has surprised many supporters, especially given the forward’s history with the Selecao and his memorable performances on soccer’s biggest stage. Brazil arrives in North America carrying enormous expectations despite a turbulent road to qualification. Under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, the national team hopes to end a 24-year wait for a World Cup triumph, but the Italian coach has already shown he is willing to make difficult decisions in pursuit of that goal. The Selecao remains the most successful national team in World Cup history, having lifted the trophy in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002. However, despite regularly entering tournaments among the favorites, Brazil has not reached a World Cup final since defeating Germany in Yokohama in 2002. Recent tournaments have brought disappointment. Quarterfinal exits in 2018 and 2022 extended the drought, while memories of the devastating 7-1 semifinal defeat to Germany in 2014 continue to linger. FALTAM 5 DIAS! 🇧🇷24 anos de espera.24 anos de saudade, mas a história já mostrou que, quando duvidam da gente, é quando o Brasil fica mais forte.A contagem regressiva está acabando. É hora de sonhar de novo.#BateNoPeitoISSO É BRASIL! 🇧🇷 pic.twitter.com/FtfNxFnA5I— brasil (@CBF_Futebol) June 8, 2026 Ancelotti, the first foreign coach to lead Brazil at a World Cup, believes he has assembled a squad capable of competing with the best. Speaking ahead of the tournament, the Italian expressed confidence in his players: “I have a very talented squad. I’m convinced we’re going to have a great World Cup.” Why Richarlison was left out After Ancelotti completed his 26-man roster, the reason for Richarlison’s absence became clear. The Brazil coach chose to prioritize younger attacking options and players he believes better fit the team’s tactical direction. Emerging talents such as Endrick and Rayan earned places in the squad, while veteran star Neymar was also included despite concerns over his fitness. The decision marked a significant change for a player who was once considered one of Brazil’s most important attackers. Richarlison was the Selecao’s leading scorer at the 2022 World Cup and produced one of the tournament’s most memorable moments with his stunning bicycle-kick goal against Serbia. Richarlison of Brazil celebrates a goal However, several reports suggested that his international performances after Qatar failed to reach the same level, while competition for attacking places became increasingly fierce. Ancelotti ultimately decided that other forwards offered greater tactical flexibility and longer-term potential. Competition for World Cup spot reached new levels Brazil’s attacking depth made selection one of the toughest tasks facing Ancelotti. The squad features established stars such as Vinícius Junior, Raphinha, Gabriel Martinelli, and Neymar, while younger players like Endrick have continued to strengthen their case through impressive club performances. With only a limited number of places available, several recognizable names were destined to miss out. Vinicius Junior of Brazil celebrates with Raphinha, Lucas Paqueta and Neymar after scoring Richarlison found himself on the wrong side of that battle despite a respectable campaign at club level. While he remained a dangerous attacking presence, reports indicated that the coaching staff believed Brazil’s future would benefit from giving opportunities to younger forwards who could develop into key figures over the coming years. The decision was particularly notable because of Richarlison’s relationship wi
Why Joao Pedro is missing the 2026 World Cup for Brazil
As Brazil prepares to begin its pursuit of a record sixth World Cup title, one of the biggest talking points surrounding Carlo Ancelotti's squad is the absence of Joao Pedro. The Chelsea forward enjoyed an outstanding club season and appeared to be firmly in contention for a place on the plane to North America, making his omission one of the most surprising decisions ahead of the tournament. As Brazil prepares to begin its pursuit of a record sixth World Cup title, one of the biggest talking points surrounding Carlo Ancelotti’s squad is the absence of Joao Pedro. The Chelsea forward enjoyed an outstanding club season and appeared to be firmly in contention for a place on the plane to North America, making his omission one of the most surprising decisions ahead of the tournament. The Brazilian national team enters the World Cup carrying huge expectations once again. With stars such as Neymar, Vinicius Junior, Raphinha, and Endrick included in the squad, attention has inevitably turned to the talented players left behind, with Joao Pedro becoming the most notable name missing from the final roster. Brazil remains the most successful national team in World Cup history, having lifted the trophy five times in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002. The nation has qualified for every edition of the tournament and continues to be viewed as one of the favorites whenever the competition begins. This year’s campaign carries additional intrigue because it marks the first World Cup under Carlo Ancelotti. The legendary Italian became the first foreign coach to lead Brazil at a World Cup after taking charge in 2025. 23 MILHÕES! 🇧🇷Somos a maior Seleção do mundo também no Instagram.Obrigado a cada torcedor que acompanha, vibra, comenta, compartilha e carrega a paixão pelo Brasil para todos os cantos do planeta.Essa conquista é nossa.

Among the most debated was whether Joao Pedro had done enough to earn a place after an excellent season in England. Why Joao Pedro was left out The reason behind Joao Pedro’s absence ultimately came down to Ancelotti’s preference for experience, tactical balance, and specific player profiles within his 26-man squad. Despite the forward’s impressive performances for Chelsea, Ancelotti felt other players offered characteristics better suited to tournament soccer. The coach later admitted that the decision was not easy: “There are the individual characteristics of the players. Obviously, we were sad for João Pedro, because for the season he had in Europe, he probably deserved to be on this list.” Ancelotti also recognized Joao Pedro’s strong campaign but believed alternative options would provide greater balance across the squad: “Unfortunately, with all possible awareness, with all possible respect and with all possible competence, we chose other players. We are sorry for João Pedro.” Joao Pedro of Brazil. Outstanding season was not enough Joao Pedro’s omission became even more surprising because of what he achieved at club level. After joining Chelsea, the striker enjoyed one of the finest seasons of his career. The 24-year-old scored 20 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most effective attackers. Many observers expected those performances to guarantee him a place at the World Cup. He had also remained involved with Brazil’s recent squads and appeared to be building a strong case for selection. Instead, Ancelotti chose to place his trust in a mixture of experienced veterans and emerging talents. Players such as Igor Thiago, Endrick, and Rayan were selected, while Joao Pedro, Gabriel Jesus, and Richarlison were left out. Neymar’s inclusion also changed the picture Another major factor in the final squad construction was Neymar’s inc
'Romero needs to go' - fans on who they would keep, loan and sell
Seb: Sell Richarlison - has been awful this season we need a prolific goalscorer. Keep Palhinha - great this season, kept us in the Premier League. Kinsky should be loaned out to gain regular playing time as I feel he could possibly be a Spurs number one in the near future but more experience is needed for the Premier League.
Carlo Ancelotti delivers brutal ultimatum to Neymar as latest injury threatens 2026 World Cup dream with Brazil
Concern has quickly taken over the national team camp after Santos forward Neymar suffered a fresh injury scare at the worst possible moment ahead of the tournament. Carlo Ancelotti was supposed to begin Brazil’s World Cup journey surrounded by optimism and excitement. Instead, concern has quickly taken over the national team camp after Santos forward Neymar suffered a fresh injury scare at the worst possible moment ahead of the tournament. The Brazilian superstar only recently returned to the national team picture after a long absence caused by serious fitness problems. Now, with the 2026 World Cup approaching rapidly, Brazil suddenly faces growing uncertainty over whether one of its greatest-ever players will even make it to the tournament. The Selecao’s medical staff confirmed that Neymar suffered a grade-two calf injury shortly after joining the national team camp. The 34-year-old reported discomfort and swelling in his right calf before undergoing MRI examinations that revealed a partial muscle tear. A grade-two injury typically requires careful rehabilitation and can sideline a player for several weeks. Brazil doctor Rodrigo Lasmar explained that the expectation is for the player to recover within “two to three weeks,” though that timeline immediately created concern because of how close the World Cup now is. Atenção!⚠️Rodrigo Lasmar, médico da Seleção Brasileira, confirma lesão de grau 2 na panturrilha de Neymar. O jogador está fora dos amistosos antes da Copa do Mundo.📽️@geglobo pic.twitter.com/9iaVxLq9fV— LIBERTA DEPRE (@liberta___depre) May 28, 2026 The injury has already ruled Neymar out of Brazil’s pre-tournament friendlies against Panama and Egypt. His absence from those matches means he will head toward the competition without rhythm, minutes, or proper match sharpness. Brazil growing increasingly concerned The timing of the injury has caused major anxiety inside the Brazil camp. Neymar had already missed significant international soccer after his devastating ACL injury in 2023, and many believed this World Cup could represent his final opportunity to win the sport’s biggest prize. Ancelotti took a calculated gamble by including Neymar in the squad despite concerns over fitness and recent form. The decision sparked excitement across Brazil, especially because several younger attacking options, such as Joao Pedro and Richarlison, were overlooked in favor of the experienced forward. However, optimism quickly faded after Neymar missed the opening training session and began intensive rehabilitation treatment instead. Neymar of Brazil is consoled by Thiago Silva. The strict deadline revealed As speculation intensified, ESPN Brasil revealed the major decision now hanging over Neymar’s future at the tournament. According to the report, Neymar has until June 12 to fully recover from the calf injury or risk being removed from Brazil’s World Cup squad altogether. That deadline carries enormous importance because FIFA regulations only allow injured players to be replaced up to 24 hours before a nation’s opening match. Brazil begins its World Cup campaign against Morocco on June 13, leaving Ancelotti with very little room for uncertainty. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) will reportedly evaluate Neymar’s condition right up until the final moment and could exclude him if he is not considered 100 percent fit. Brazil is taking this matter very seriously, as this instance shows. Even with Neymar’s legendary status, Ancelotti reportedly does not want sentiment to interfere with the team’s preparation.

Tottenham 1-1 Leeds - the fans' verdict
Scored and looked good but, as usual, the lack of quality from Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani cost us. The lack of discipline from Mathys Tel was no different to that of Cristian Romero or Micky van de Ven in previous games. Need a clearout of underperforming players whatever league we end up in next season!
