Flamengo will have a player available for Carlo Ancelotti in the Brazilian National Team. This is because, this Saturday (30), the coach of the ‘Amarelinha’ called up Samuel Lino to replace Matheus Cunha, who suffered a muscle injury. Thus, the Mengão forward will be available for the ‘Canarinho’ in the matches against Chile and Bolivia.
Samuel Lino was on Ancelotti’s preliminary list. However, at first, the Italian coach chose to leave the Flamengo forward out of the initial call-up. With the injury to Matheus Cunha this Saturday (30), during Manchester United’s (ENG) match against Burnley (ENG), the ‘Mister’ called up Mengão’s number 16.
With Samuel Lino available, Brazil is preparing to wrap up its participation in the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The first match for the ‘Amarelinha’ takes place next Thursday (04) against Chile, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Finally, the ‘Canarinho’ closes out against Bolivia, on September 9, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), away from home.
