Philippe Coutinho will not have the opportunity to play for Brazil in the World Cup in November.
According to Sport, Coutinho has fallen out of favor with Brazilian coach Tite and will not be included in the Selecao squad to travel to Qatar.
His form at Aston Villa this season has been lackluster as he has failed to record any goal contributions in 12 appearances. Consequently, the Brazilian coach chooses to take Everton Ribeiro and Roberto Firmino in his place.
He joined the Midlands side in 2022, initially on loan from Barcelona in the January transfer window, agreeing a permanent deal in May.

Too little, too late for Coutinho
Villa had been underperforming for most of the season under Steven Gerrard but managed a 4-0 win in the first match since the Englishman was sacked.
Unai Emery has now been appointed manager at Villa Park and while the club and players may improve under the new manager, it is too late for Coutinho to change Tite’s mind.
