Andreas Pereira of Palmeiras called up to the Brazil squad | OneFootball

The midfielder Andreas Pereira, recently arrived at Palmeiras, was called up at the last minute for the Brazilian National Team. He replaces the forward Kaio Jorge, who was cut due to medical issues, and immediately reports to the team led by Carlo Ancelotti.

Brazil faces Bolivia, this Tuesday (9), at 8:30 pm, for the last round of the World Cup Qualifiers.

First training

Andreas had his first training with the Palmeiras team last Thursday (4), and will already be missing in the next ones after the call-up. The player was on the first list of the Italian coach at the helm of the Brazilian National Team.

National Team was the goal

Andreas arrived at Palmeiras a week ago and has already achieved one of the reasons for his life: call-ups for the Brazilian National Team. The midfielder's focus is to be on Carlo Ancelotti's final list for the 2026 World Cup, and he sees Verdão as a great showcase for this.

At Fulham, Andreas was frequently called up by Dorival Júnior, and was on the first list of the Italian, but was left out of the initial call-up. Now, with the injury of Kaio Jorge, a forward who is in great form at Cruzeiro, the midfielder, now at Palmeiras, will have the opportunity to wear the yellow shirt again.

Absence in training

Palmeiras saw the FIFA date as a time for Andreas Pereira to acclimate and adapt, but with the call-up, the player will arrive just in time for the clash against Internacional, on the 13th, at Allianz Parque.

The 29-year-old midfielder was born in Belgium, and was called up by the country in the youth categories, but chose to play for the Brazilian National Team, being called up for the first time in 2018.
