Dorival Junior's squad will be without some of its best players when Brazil faces Chile in what is a must-win match for the Selecao.
Brazil's spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is anything but secure. The five-time World Cup winners currently sit in fifth place after eight CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. So far, Brazil has only earned 10 out of a possible 24 points and suffered defeats to Uruguay, Colombia, Argentina and Paraguay.
The Selecao needs to take home three points against Chile, but the team will have to do so without Vinícius Júnior, Éder Militão, Alisson, Bremer and Guilherme Arana. All five players are nursing injuries and are unavailable to compete during the October international break. Dorival Junior now has the tough job of replacing his superstars.
Here's what Brazil's XI could look like against Chile on Oct. 10.
