Carlos Augusto, from Inter Milan and Yan Couto, from Girona, were called up this Friday by the Brazilian team for the matches that the ‘canarinh’a will play against Venezuela and Uruguay in the South American qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup.
Defenders will replace full-backs Renan Lodi (Olympique de Marseille) and Vanderson (Monaco), both injured, as decided by the coach Fernando Diniz.

The two debutants join David Neres, of the Portuguese Benfica, who was called up on Monday by Diniz to replace Raphinha, from Barcelona, due to a muscle injury in the thigh.
Four casualties
In total there are already four absences that Brazil suffers due to injury for the next two games, since last week the Brazilian coach had to call up the left back Guilherme Arana (Atlético Mineiro) to replace Caio Henrique (Monaco), prevented by discomfort in one knee.
Brazil will face Venezuela on October 12 at the Arena Pantanal stadium in the city of Cuiabá and Uruguay on the 17th at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo.
After victories in their first two games, the ‘canarinha’ leads the standings with 6 points, the same as Argentina, which they surpass due to their better goal balance.
