Ederson replaces Wesley in Brazil's World Cup squad

Atalanta midfielder Ederson has been called up to the Brazilian national team for the upcoming World Cup. He replaces right-back Wesley, who was officially cut from the roster after sustaining an injury to his left thigh adductor.

The injury occurred during the friendly match against Egypt, the final warm-up game before the World Cup. Wesley was forced off in the 16th minute after feeling pain while attempting a cross, leaving the field in distress.

Speaking on social media, the Atalanta midfielder expressed his pride in the call-up while offering solidarity to his teammate:

God's plans are always greater than mine. It is an honor to be part of the greatest national team in the world. Wesley, we will always be with you! Let's go together. Ederson
