5 big names who might not make Brazil’s World Cup squad

#1 David Luiz

Brazil will most likely be without their veteran defender David Luiz

David Luiz’s chance of making it to Brazil national team for Russia looks all but over after his recent injury setback. He was not a regular in the Chelsea team this season because of poor form and injuries.

He was dropped from the Brazil squad for the friendlies against Japan and England in November and he never regained his place in the national team. He is currently out injured for Chelsea and expected to miss for up to 4 weeks.

With Thiago Silva (PSG), Marquinhos (PSG), and Miranda (Inter Milan) in fine form and assured of a place in the squad for the centre-back positions, Tite will not bother too much to drop the underperforming David Luiz.
