Fabinho could play there, but doesn't look like it'll be him either.
World Cup 2018
No Alex Sandro or Fabinho in the official Brazil squad.
It's incredible how Sandro, Fabinho and Naldo are arguably the best ones Brazil have on their respective position, but none of them get to go to the World Cup.
Sandro isn't better than Marcelo though.
Close to signing for Utd apparently.
It's up in the air, but Sandro has definitely been better for the past two seasons. Considering Brazil's options in general you'd want to work both of them into a team.
Felt like the decision was more Sandro vs Filipe Luis. Too bad their depth at LB doesn't translate at RB.
Tite primarily went with the players that he played the most throughout qualifying.
Thought they had Alves and Danilo at RB? That's not bad I would have thought.
Alves is injured, just Danilo left.
Alex Sandro has been very poor this season to be fair to Tite, was possibly Brazil's best left back the season before but it's a good decision looking at recent performances.
We getting a sub forum this year?
Decision time for Southgate soon. I hope he is brave enough to bring some wildcards like Sessegnon, Alexander-Arnold, Lookman and Sancho into the fold instead of some absolutely average players like Livermore, Lingard etc. I would also take Shelvey to the world cup as he is one of a kind CM for England's options.
Lingaard deserves to go on performance alone. Livermore would be a joke though.
Notable snubs so far: Wilshere and Hart for England and Gotze and Sandro Wagner for Germany.
Add Mustafi for Germany.
Lol the England squad is a joke, Southgate is a joke. Says won't select Wilshere previously because he hasn't played much and has injury problems.
Even Lallana who hardly played this season is selected as reserve. Rose and Loftus Cheeks mostly on the bench this season as well
There's literally no one in there that can pass the ball. Shelvey and Wilshere would actually add something to the team.

Jack has played nearly 40 games and has been a starter since December. He clearly just doesn't like him.
Is Shelvey not in the team either? That's going to be a fucking dire watch.
Shelvey is one of a kind and he isn't even selected as reserve. All these players are boring and average
Kane's in relatively shit form as well - this could end badly.
On the upside, Vardy has been awesome for most of 2018 and should arguably start for England in some capacity. Trust Southgate to leave him on the bench though.
