Brazil call up another Flamengo player | OneFootball

World Champion with Flamengo U-20, Goalkeeper Léo Nannetti Trained with the Senior Brazilian National Team

In addition to Samuel Lino, the Brazilian National Team had another Flamengo player participating in activities this Monday (01). However, this was not a new option for coach Carlo Ancelotti for the World Cup Qualifiers, but rather for the team's first training session. The U-20 world champion goalkeeper Léo Nannetti was at Granja Comary to complete the training session.

Not only the Flamengo goalkeeper, but four other youngsters from the youth academies of Rio de Janeiro clubs also took part: Huguinho (right-back from Botafogo), Léo Lance (left-back from Fluminense), Marquinhos (center-back from Botafogo), and Gustavo Dohnamm (midfielder from Fluminense). On social media, the young player from Mengão shared a moment from the training session.

“An honor,” wrote Léo Nannetti, in a photo alongside Bento, from Al Nassr (SAU). In addition, images of the training session released by the CBF showed the Flamengo goalkeeper receiving instructions from Taffarel, the National Team's goalkeeping coach, and being welcomed by Ancelotti.

WHEN WILL THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM PLAY?

With a Flamengo player on the list, but not Léo Nannetti—rather, Samuel Lino—Brazil will face Chile and Bolivia in the last two rounds of the World Cup Qualifiers. The first match will take place on Thursday (04), at Maracanã. The second is scheduled for El Alto, the home of the opposing team, at an altitude of 4,000 meters.

WHEN WILL LÉO NANNETTI RETURN TO THE FIELD?

After his experience with the Brazilian National Team, Léo Nannetti is now focusing on his upcoming commitments with Flamengo. The U-20 team of Mengão will take the field on Saturday (06), against Vasco, for the Campeonato Carioca in their category. The match kicks off at 9:30 a.m. (Brasília time), at Gávea.
