Joao Pedro Aims for Brazil Recall Following Strong Chelsea Performance

Joao Pedro is looking to earn a spot in the Brazil national team after a successful start to the season with Chelsea. He has expressed hope that his performance will lead to a regular place in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

During Chelsea's recent 4-3 victory over Brighton, Ancelotti observed Joao Pedro, who scored and contributed to the team's success. The 24-year-old has netted two goals and provided two assists in his first two Premier League matches this season, building on his impressive debut season at Chelsea.

Previously left out of Brazil’s World Cup squad in favor of more experienced players, Joao Pedro has eight international caps since his debut in 2023. He joined Chelsea from Brighton in July 2025 and was named Chelsea’s Player of the Season after scoring 20 goals and assisting nine in 50 appearances. Brazil is set to play a friendly against Australia on September 25.
