The young Brazilian has so far scored five times and additionally provided two assists for Arsenal this season. According to Andrade however, he would miss out on a place in the World Cup squad.

Barcelona winger Raphinha and Manchester United attacker Antony meanwhile have made it into the team on the back of their last season's performance. Both have made big money moves from Leeds United and Ajax to the big teams at the start of the season.

Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Junior also makes it into the team and so does Arsenal forward Jesus who is going through a rich vein of form as well. Defensive duties will be taken care of by Chelsea captain Thiago Silva, PSG legend Marquinhos, Dani Alves, Alex Sandro, Alex Telles and Militao.

In midfield players like Fred, Fabinho, Casemiro and others will fight for a starting place. The FIFA World Cup kicks off on 20^th November with hosts Qatar going against Ecuador in the curtain-raiser game.

Brazil will play their first World Cup 2022 match on 25^th November against Serbia. The South American team has won five World Cups in the history of the game. Their last World Cup win was in 2002 following which they have failed to emulate the performance from the past.
