Brazil line-up: Ancelotti rings the changes to face Bolivia | OneFootball

The Brazilian lineup is set for the last match in the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup, this Tuesday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), against Bolivia, in El Alto, at over 4000m altitude.

As expected, coach Carlo Ancelotti will use the match to conduct tests and evaluate potential call-ups for the 2026 World Cup. Therefore, the Italian has changed almost the entire team compared to the victory over Chile at Maracanã, with only Bruno Guimarães remaining.

The complete Brazilian lineup includes Alisson; Vitinho, Alexsandro, Fabrício Bruno, and Caio Henrique; Andrey Santos, Bruno Guimarães, and Lucas Paquetá; Luiz Henrique, Samuel Lino, and Richarlison.

Already qualified for the World Cup, the Brazilian National Team will still have three more FIFA dates before the World Cup, in addition to a period for friendlies just before the tournament begins. Thus, the tendency is for Ancelotti to still lead the team in at least six more matches to form the base of the canary team.

Neymar, for example, will only be able to be called up for international friendlies, as the Qualifiers end this Tuesday and there will be no more official tournaments to be played until the World Cup.

The number 10 has yet to work with Carlo Ancelotti in the Brazilian National Team and was not called up for the last two Qualifier matches due to an adductor edema, an issue that kept him out of Santos' training for just a few days.

Brazil is currently in second place in the Qualifiers, with 28 points, but has no mathematical chance of overtaking the leader Argentina, with 38 points. However, the canary team could lose the runner-up position to Uruguay or Ecuador if they win their respective matches and Ancelotti's team is defeated by Bolivia, which is still fighting for a playoff spot for the World Cup.
