Brazil’s setter Fernando Kreling “Cachopa” will miss training after suffering a minor left thigh injury during World Championship prep in Saquarema.

Coach Bernardinho has called up Rhendrick Resley, a familiar face from the VNL squad, to fill in until Cachopa recovers. The team’s core remains intact from their VNL bronze, with the tournament set for Sept 12–28 in the Philippines.
