Why i left :Former West Brom midfielder reveals hard truth

West Brom supporters will have a watchful eye over Brazil’s 2026 World Cup qualifier with Peru on Tuesday.

Former West Brom midfielder Matheus Pereira is in line to make his debut for the Brazil national team at the age of 28.

Pereira has been called up in the place of West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta, who will serve a suspension. Brazil play Peru on Tuesday, October 15 at the Mane Garrincha Stadium, and Pereira will at least find himself among the substitute’s for the match in Brasilia.

His call-up comes following his good run of form with Brazilian side Cruzeiro. He signed for Cruzeiro earlier this summer, penning a two-year deal having initially joined them on loan, and he’s had a stellar season.

In the 48 games he’s played in this term, he’s registered 13 assists and nine goals. He helped his team reach the semi-finals of the Copa Sudamericana, which is effectively the UEFA Europa League for South American teams.

West Brom supporters shared their delight in seeing Pereira earning a call-up to represent his country. Twitter user GriffoWBA said: “Couldn’t be happier for the boy after he opened up about his battles with depression. Will always love you Matheus.
