With Day Rodríguez’s call-up, Corinthians now has six players called up to their national teams during this FIFA window. In addition to the defensive midfielder, Lelê, Thaís Ferreira, Gi Fernandes, Duda Sampaio, and Ana Vitória were selected by Arthur Elias to represent the Brazilian National Team in the FIFA Series, which will be held at Arena Pantanal.

The Brazilian squad will have three matches ahead: South Korea on the 11th, Zambia on the 14th, and Canada on the 18th.

All the called-up players will be unavailable for Corinthians in the Teal Rising Cup, a friendly competition taking place in the United States. On April 9, the Brabas will face Kansas City Current at 11 p.m. (Brasília time) in the semifinal. The final and the third-place match are scheduled for the 12th. If they advance, Timão could face Palmeiras or América-MEX in the final.

In addition, the called-up players are also doubtful for the match against Juventude in the Brazilian Championship on April 20 in Rio Grande do Sul. The match takes place just two days after the national teams’ last commitment, which could affect the players’ availability.
