Brazil is going through a moment of transition in some sectors, the most notable is in the defensive side of the team, with the end of the era of players Marcelo, left back, and Daniel Alves, right back, who were almost always absolute starters, the Brazil is looking for replacements.

Coach Tite still decided to keep Daniel Alves being called up frequently, and he is also a guaranteed name in the World Cup.

However, the changes at left back started some time ago, and the perfect player for the left back position was already practically defined, until the witch of injuries started to appear.

Embezzlement for the World Cup:

The main absence is the player Guilherme Arana, from Atlético Mineiro, who had an impeccable performance for Brazil in the Olympics, and had been playing at the highest level in Brazil, he was practically a defined part of the Seleçã squad.

According to the medical team at the club where he plays, the player suffered a multiligament injury, compromising the posterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments, as well as a tear in the medial meniscus and cartilage. And as a result, he will be left out of the 2022 World Cup.

Another player that the Brazilian coach already counted on is midfielder Philippe Coutinho, who is not going through his best moment, after leaving the Liverpool club, the player had a big drop in performance.

However, the athlete is a player the coach trusts, and was practically a certainty for the World Cup. However, the player was injured and will not recover in time to make up the Brazilian team's squad.

For some, it's a shame, for many it was better that the player didn't play in this World Cup.
