Dorival Junior has made some tough calls as he assembled his Brazil squad looks to claim a 10th Copa America with captain Casemiro of Manchester United missing out.
PublishedThe lone goal scored in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Manchester United on May 12 at Old Trafford helped to elucidate part of Dorival Junior’s roster selection for Copa America as he takes the helm of Brazil for the first time at a major tournament.
While Casemiro’s absence is understandable, it was one of only a number of tough decisions made by Dorival in constructing a 23-person roster. When you have as much depth and quality on offer as manager of Brazil, there are going to be some very good players left at home. Like with tournaments past, this is once again the case at Copa America.
Even without Casemiro, Dorival has opted for a mostly all-Prem midfield, with five members of the tea, plying their trades in England. Like he hasn’t at the back, the manager has not been deterred by inexperience here, either. Wolves’ Joao Gomes, who received his first cap back in March, and Andreas Pereira of Fulham, who has three caps to his name, will be on the plane to the US.
