Ancelotti Rebuilds Brazil Squad, Calls Back João Pedro and Raphinha

Carlo Ancelotti has begun rebuilding Brazil’s national team after the World Cup, recalling Chelsea midfielder João Pedro and fellow winger Raphinha for the next set of international friendlies. The move marks a return to the squad for both players, who had previously been omitted from recent call‑ups. Ancelotti’s decision comes as he seeks to refresh the team’s lineup and assess talent ahead of future competitions. By re‑introducing Pedro and Raphinha, the coach signals a willingness to blend experienced club performers with the national setup, potentially reshaping Brazil’s tactical options for the upcoming fixtures. The recall also provides the players a chance to re‑establish themselves on the international stage and contribute to Brazil’s post‑World Cup rebuilding process.
