Ancelotti leads training, hints at Brazil XI for Senegal clash | OneFootball

The Brazilian National Team is in the final stages of preparation for the friendly match against Senegal, the first of this November FIFA date. On Thursday, coach Carlo Ancelotti led the penultimate training session of the team before the match and continued testing the team, sketching out the lineup that might start as the main squad.

The activity took place once again at Arsenal's training center in England. As usual, the technical staff allowed the press to watch the first 15 minutes of the training session.

How was the training?

Goalkeepers Ederson, Bento, and John were the first to arrive on the field and began warming up with the goalkeeping coaches. Later, the rest of the group went onto the field and worked under the guidance of the technical staff. Right at the start of the activities, Carlo Ancelotti had a conversation with midfielder Fabinho, while the other players were already warming up on the pitch.

The staff divided the squad and handed out bibs to 10 outfield players: Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, Wesley, Caio Henrique, Bruno Guimarães, Fabinho, Rodrygo, Luiz Henrique, Vitor Roque, and Vini Jr.

The National Team will train again this Friday. Ancelotti will hold a press conference shortly before the final session where he will decide the starting lineup to face Senegal at 1 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday. The coach is looking to respond after the defeat to Japan in the last match in October.
