Twitter Reacts To Firmino & Coutinho Left Out Of Brazil World Cup Squad

Brazilian national coach Tite announced his 26-man squad for the Fifa World Cup on Monday. One name that stood out was the 39-year-old defender Daniel Alves who was ruled out of the 2018 World Cup in Russia due to a knee ligament injury. Two names that were missing are Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho due to a thigh injury.

Here is the full squad below:

Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Ederson (Man. City), Weverton (Palmeiras).

Defenders: Bremer (Juventus), Eder Militao (Real Madrid) Marquinhos (PSG), Thiago Silva (Chelsea), Danilo (Juventus), Daniel Alves (Pumas), Alex Sandro (Juventus), Alex Telles (Sevilla).

Midfielders: Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle), Casemiro (Man. United), Everton Ribeiro (Flamengo), Fabinho (Liverpool), Fred (Man. United), Lucas Paqueta (West Ham).

Forwards: Antony (Man. United), Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Neymar Jr (PSG), Pedro (Flamengo), Raphinha (Barcelona), Richarlison (Tottenham), Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)

Fermino would’ve been best for that team. I guess they plan on using Rodrygo as False 9

Brazil have so much talent and they still have big players missing out!

– Coutinho, who hasn’t been great and is injured
– Firmino, who’s back in good form 6 goals, 3 assists in 12 games
– Gabigol, another great yr, topped off with Copa Libertadores 🏆 https://t.co/yLZxGP2vAP

I do not think Coutinho deserved to go to the World Cup, but I am definitely sad to see him “go out” through injury.

Wishing him a quick recovery. pic.twitter.com/uogpDHMEkg
