Brazil coach Fernando Diniz brought 17-year-old striker Endrick to the senior national team for the first time for two big clashes of World Cup qualifying in November: Colombia away and Argentina at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

The 17-year-old striker was brought to the senior national team for the first time on Nov. 6, 2023 for two World Cup qualifying games in November: Colombia and Argentina.
Endrick will join Real Madrid next year and has been key for Palmeiras to challenge for this year’s Brazilian championship title. Casemiro and Neymar, two frequent starters of the team, were left out due to injury. Brazil will face Colombia in Barranquilla on Nov. 16 and host the World Cup champion five days later. Lionel Messi’s Argentina leads South American qualifying with 12 points in four matches.
Brazil is third with seven points and failed to win both rounds of the round-robin competition in October; a home 1-1 draw with Venezuela and a 2-0 loss at Uruguay put more pressure on Diniz, who will remain on the job until June next year in the hopes Carlo Ancelotti will take over.
