Ancelotti calls up Brasileirão full-back after another withdrawal 👇🏽 | OneFootball

Paulo Henrique, right-back for Vasco, has been called up to defend the Brazilian National Team in friendlies against South Korea and Japan.

He steps in for Wesley, who was injured this Sunday (5) during Roma's victory over Fiorentina.

This is the first call-up of Paulo Henrique's career, who is 29 years old.

He has played 47 games this season, with four goals and five assists. He has been defending Cruz-Maltino since March 2023.

Sunday started with Ederson being cut and the call-up of John, ex-Botafogo.

Ancelotti had already lost the other called-up right-back: Vanderson, from Monaco. Vitinho, from Botafogo, was the one called up. 

The Brazilian National Team will have a full delegation this Monday (6) and already in Seoul, the location of the friendly against the home team next Friday (10).

On the following Tuesday (14), Brazil will challenge Japan in Tokyo.

Hugo Souza, Fabrício Bruno and, now, Paulo Henrique are not expected to defend their respective teams on Wednesday (15), the day that marks the beginning of the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
