    He was mentioned during March as an injured player who would otherwise have been in consideration for the call up.

    Details on the staff's visit to Europe. This time they will be covering Italy as well (as I speculated when the last call up came out without some names).

    The article indicates only 23 players will be called up for the friendlies. In total, the team will be together for 3 weeks before the first match of Copa America.

    UEFA is expanding the Euro rosters to 26. I haven't seen any indication CONMEBOL will do the same, but I think it would be a positive.

    Most players that were injured long term, or just not available in March, are back in action.

    Even Caio Henrique, who hasn't played yet, has been available off the bench in the last couple of Monaco matches.

    But it looks like Ederson is injured again and might be out for the remainder of the season for Man City, pending confirmation. He left today's match with his arm in a sling.

    Obviously Militão and Alisson will be part of the convocação. Wouldn't be surprised to see Vanderson as a new name that wasn't available in March. Besides those, who knows. I hope Caio Henrique gets called, but other positions are much deeper so even players who were specifically mentioned by Dorival might not have a spot.
