Chelsea's manager Xabi Alonso has commented on Joao Pedro's absence from Brazil's squad for the upcoming matches. The 24-year-old forward is sidelined due to an injury.
Previously, the London-based forward missed out on a spot in the squad for the 2026 World Cup. Alonso praised the player's professionalism and his remarkable determination for the current season.
He has moved on from the summer and the World Cup. He has a tremendous desire and resolve to perform at the highest level this season. So, the summer is well behind him.
Alonso expressed his absolute confidence that the forward will receive his chance on the international stage as soon as he fully recovers.
In the future, he will definitely be called up to the Brazil squad. I am absolutely certain of that.
This season in the Premier League, Joao Pedro has showcased impressive form, having scored three goals and provided three assists in just four matches.
