Goalkeeper Bento, from Athletico Paranaense, was withdrawn from the Brazilian National Team. The team’s doctor, Dr. Rodrigo Lasmar, got in touch with the club’s medical department, which sent the exam report.
The muscle injury in the posterior region of the right thigh was attested, which prevents the player from being present in the first two rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
For Bento’s place, coach Fernando Diniz called goalkeeper Lucas Perri, from Botafogo.
