Flamengo title-winner sends message to Jean Lucas after Brazil call-up | OneFootball

This is Jean Lucas’s first call-up, after leaving Flamengo in 2019

Bahia’s midfielder Jean Lucas has been called up by Carlo Ancelotti to serve the Brazilian National Team in place of Joelinton. This is because the Newcastle (ENG) player was cut from the initial list due to injury. Thus, Flamengo idol Everton Ribeiro congratulated his Bahia teammate on the call-up.

“Let’s go, Seleção, you really deserve it, brother @jeanlucas8,” celebrated Everton Ribeiro in a post with a photo alongside Jean Lucas in Bahia’s locker room. Both are former Flamengo players, and the Brazilian National Team is familiar territory for the experienced midfielder, who played in the 2022 World Cup.
