Roberto Firmino, Alisson Becker, and Fabinho have all been left out of the Brazil squad for the Selecao’s upcoming friendly against Morocco during the March international break.
Brazil take on the African nation, who surprisingly finished fourth in last year’s World Cup in Qatar, in Tangier on March 25. But they will do so without any of the Liverpool trio as caretaker manager Ramon Menezes left them out of his 23-man squad.
Firmino’s absence is perhaps not a surprise given he hasn’t played for his country since the Copa America final in July 2021. Injuries would see the forward, who will leave the Reds at the end of the season, drop out of a number of Brazil squads last season, and, having only been fit to answer one call up since the last edition of the continental competition, he missed out on a place at the World Cup as a result.
