Jean Lucas eyes Brazil call-up as Bahia take centre stage | OneFootball

The midfielder Jean Lucas will be the novelty of Bahia in the duel against Botafogo, this Wednesday (1), at 9:30 pm, at Nilton Santos, for the Brasileirão. Suspended in the previous round, the number 6 shirt returns to be an option for Rogério Ceni in a direct confrontation in the table, but he will also be paying attention to the Brazilian National Team.

Hours before the match, the player is eagerly awaiting the call-up of Brazil, which will be announced at 3 pm by Carlo Ancelotti, for the friendlies against South Korea (10/10) and Japan (14/10).

First call-up

Jean Lucas was present in the last list of the Italian coach and made his debut against Bolivia, in El Alto, for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The experience increases the chance of a new call-up, although the midfielder reinforces the priority in Bahia:

“I try to keep my focus on Bahia, we have a very important game that can make us gain two positions in the table. I've been thinking about this. I have to do my best here, and if God blesses me with a new call-up, I will be ready” said Jean Lucas.

Midfielder's numbers

Since his arrival in 2024, the midfielder has 25 direct participations in goals for Bahia — with 16 goals and 9 assists in two seasons.
