The number 10 did not take the field in the World Cup. Varela was a starter in the three group stage games, and De la Cruz was used throughout the three matches.
The other players who were at the World Cup are expected soon. They will have a rest period before the return - Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Danilo and Paquetá were with the Brazilian team, while Carrascal was available for Colombia and Plata from Ecuador.
