Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti has warned Vinicius Jr. that he might not be included in Brazil's squad for the 2026 World Cup if he is not 100% ready. In an interview with the "Sports Record" program, Ancelotti confirmed that Vinicius must be fully prepared to be called up for the World Cup. He explained that if the player is only 90% ready, another player who is 100% ready will be called up to the team, as this team has a very high level of competition, especially in attack, where there are many excellent players. It is worth noting that last October, Ancelotti issued a similar warning to Neymar, stating that the Santos striker must be fully ready to be called up to the national team. Recall that Brazil will play a friendly match against France in Boston during the international break from March 23 to 31.
