Ancelotti tries changes, Pedro could get his chance up front | OneFootball

Pedro could earn a chance as a starter for the Brazil national team this Saturday against India. The information comes from ge, which followed Friday’s training session in Kolkata.

With Raphinha out, the Flamengo striker was picked by Ancelotti among the starters in training and is currently ahead in the race for the spot.

And that may not be the only change. The Italian coach began the session with seven changes compared to the team that beat Australia 4-2 on Tuesday.

The list of new faces includes two players who have never started a match for Brazil: Coritiba goalkeeper Pedro Morisco and Athletico-PR center-back Arthur Dias.

The lineup that started training had Morisco in goal; Matheuzinho, Marquinhos, Arthur Dias and Douglas Santos in defense; Danilo, Bruno Guimarães and Gabriel Bontempo in midfield; and Estêvão, Pedro and Vini Jr. in attack.

Still according to ge, two spots remain open. In midfield, Andrey Santos replaced Bruno Guimarães during the session, something that had already happened in Australia.

In attack, Endrick also had a few minutes in Pedro’s place.

The friendly will be played at 11 a.m. (Brasília time) at Salt Lake Stadium and marks the first-ever meeting between Brazil and India.
