Which Flamengo players will play in the World Cup?


Carlo Ancelotti has already decided on 24 of the 26 names who will be called up to play in the 2026 World Cup for the Brazilian National Team. Flamengo, so far, has three players on the Italian coach’s list.

According to journalist Pedro Ivo Almeida, from ESPN, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro and Danilo are guaranteed spots at the 2026 World Cup. The players will only miss out if they suffer an injury before the tournament.

Does Ancelotti have any doubts about Brazil’s final squad list?

At the moment, Carlo Ancelotti is unsure whether to take two forwards to the World Cup or not. If he decides to take only one attacking player, the Italian coach will call up another midfielder.

Will Flamengo’s three players be available for the match against Bragantino?

No! Only Léo Pereira and Danilo will report to Flamengo for the match against Red Bull Bragantino. That is because Alex Sandro suffered a muscle injury and is still not available to coach Leonardo Jardim.

Flamengo’s match against Bragantino is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (02), in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the match will be broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV and by Premiere on pay-per-view.
