A Flamengo academy product, Wesley suffers another disappointment, as he had been part of the group that would play in the World Cup until being cut while still preparing in Brazil.
Vanderson, meanwhile, gets another chance after having been part of the previous cycle.
He is a starter for the current Ligue 1 leaders under Filipe Luís.
The first player to be cut had been João Pedro, Chelsea’s striker.
