Brazil have included Palmeiras prodigy Endrick (17) in their 23-player strong squad for the upcoming Copa America, but defensive midfielder Casemiro (32) and forward Richarlison (27) have missed out on a place, coach Dorival Junior (62) announced on Friday.

Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus alongside fellow forward Matheus Cunha, who plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers, have failed to make the cut.

Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid teammate Rodrygo will likely lead the forward line, with Raphinha and Gabriel Martinelli also securing a place in the squad.

Richarlison has netted 12 times and provided four assists in 31 appearances across all competitions this season.

Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus alongside fellow forward Matheus Cunha, who plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers, were the other notable absentees.

Real Madrid defender Eder Militao has also made the cut after suffering a Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury earlier in the season.

Nine-times champions Brazil will kick off their Copa America campaign against Costa Rica on June 24th, followed by Paraguay on June 28th and Colombia on July 2nd. The quadrennial tournament will be held in the United States from June 20th - July 14th.

Brazil will play friendlies against Mexico on June 8th and the US on June 12th as part of their Copa America preparation.
