Biggest shock for Brazil is the absence of Murilo, but he was having some injury problems and didn't play in the final phase of World League.

 

Pretty "renovated" team comparing to 2012, with only 4 players returning, but kinda old in age (average of 30+ years).

Fabíola is the only "shock" in the list. She didn't play any match in Grand Prix and had a baby in May. Adenízia's name is pretty much unnecessary IMO, should have picked another opposite (although she's being tested in this position).
