Diniz chose to leave Joelinton and Martinelli at home so shite like Gerson and Richarlison can play.

On top of that, Marquinhos is out of form, Casemiro is out of form, Neymar is out of form, and even Rodrygo is out of form.

With Richarlison, that 6 players of the starting 11 not playing well.

The only bit of good news was Yan Couto and Carlos Augusto made the squad, albeit because of injuries.
