Wesley was diagnosed with an injury to the adductor muscle of his left thigh, which prevents him from appearing at the 2026 World Cup.
Taking his place is Ederson, a midfielder from Atalanta, who is expected to arrive in the United States on Monday.
At 26 years old, Ederson has built his career in Italy, playing for Atalanta since 2022. This season, he finished with three assists and three goals in 41 matches and is being heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer.
Placed in Group C, Brazil will kick off their World Cup 2026 campaign next Saturday, June 13th, against Morocco.
Haiti and Scotland are the other group opponents for the Selecao.
