Ederson Joins Neymar in Withdrawing from Brazil Squad Ahead of World Cup Qualifiers
The Brazilian national team has suffered another significant blow ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifiers, as goalkeeper Ederson of Manchester City has withdrawn from the squad due to injury. This comes just days after Neymar also pulled out, leaving the Seleção without two of their key players.
Neymar's absence has already been addressed, with young talent Endrick called up as his replacement. However, it remains unclear who will step in for Ederson between the posts. The Brazilian Football Confederation has yet to announce a replacement for the experienced shot-stopper.
Brazil faces a challenging schedule, with crucial matches against Colombia on March 21 and group leaders Argentina on March 26. These games are vital for Brazil's hopes of securing a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
