Cruzeiro’s Rising Star William Called Up to Brazil’s National Team

Cruzeiro’s right-back, William, has been called up to represent Brazil in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. He replaces Yan Couto, who was ruled out due to injury. William has been a key player for Cruzeiro this season, contributing significantly to their goalscoring efforts. His impressive performances, including four goals and five assists, have earned him recognition and a place on the national team. William’s inclusion is a testament to his growth and potential, making him a rising star in Brazilian football. While he’ll be joining the national squad for the upcoming qualifiers, his absence won’t affect Cruzeiro’s league campaign as the Brazilian championship is paused during this period.
