Carlo Ancelotti, freshly appointed as Brazil's head coach, has reinstated veteran midfielder Casemiro for the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against Ecuador and Paraguay.
The 33-year-old midfielder, who captained the national team at the 2022 World Cup, had been out of the squad for approximately a year.
Notably, Neymar has not been included in the lineup as he continues his recovery from injury. Ancelotti's appointment marks a historical moment, as he becomes the first foreign individual to hold the role full-time in a hundred years.
