Brazil train without Samuel Lino and Paquetá on FIFA break opener | OneFootball

FIFA Date Started This Monday (01)

Coach Carlo Ancelotti led the first training session of the Brazilian National Team at Granja Comary in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, this Monday (01). The activity marked the beginning of the preparation during the FIFA Date but had significant absences, such as Samuel Lino and Lucas Paquetá, who worked separately in the gym.

Samuel Lino and Lucas Paquetá did not participate in the field activities with the other players, as they played last Sunday (31). The left winger played for Flamengo in the 1-1 draw with Grêmio in the Brasileirão. Meanwhile, the midfielder played for West Ham (ENG) in the 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest (ENG) in the Premier League.

Additionally, Jean Lucas from Bahia also only performed regenerative work at Granja Comary. Carlo Ancelotti also started the week without five other call-ups: Alisson, Caio Henrique, Gabriel Magalhães, Raphinha, and Gabriel Martinelli, who only joined the group this Tuesday (02), completing the National Team squad. The information is from GE.

YOUNG FLAMENGO PLAYER CALLED UP?

Due to the list of absences in the first training session of the National Team, the technical staff called up some young players to complete the field activity. However, this call-up does not represent a new option for Carlo Ancelotti in the Qualifiers matches but rather a temporary measure exclusively for the start of preparation. Among those called, goalkeeper Léo Nanneti, under-20 world champion with Flamengo, participated in the movement at Granja Comary.

Besides the Flamengo goalkeeper, four other players from the youth categories of Rio de Janeiro clubs also reinforced the training. They were: Huguinho (right-back from Botafogo), Léo Lance (left-back from Fluminense), Marquinhos (defender from Botafogo), and Gustavo Dohnamm (midfielder from Fluminense).

WHEN DOES BRAZIL PLAY?

The Brazilian National Team faces Chile this Thursday (5) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Then, they take on Bolivia next Tuesday (10) at the Municipal Stadium of El Alto, in the city of El Alto. These matches conclude Brazil's participation in the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
