The Brazilian National Team arrived this Tuesday in El Alto, on the eve of the clash against Bolivia for the 18th and final round of the Qualifiers, scheduled for later today, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Municipal Stadium of El Alto.
The delegation had arrived last night in Santa Cruz de la Sierra and continued their journey to El Alto. During the training sessions, Coach Ancelotti tested changes in all lines. In defense, Fabrício Bruno and Alexsandro trained among the starters.
In the midfield, Casemiro is suspended, and Andrey Santos emerges as the main alternative. Lucas Paquetá, who stood out in the 3-0 victory over Chile, is also expected to start playing at altitude.
The novelty in the call-up is midfielder Andreas Pereira, from Palmeiras, called up to replace Kaio Jorge, who was cut due to injury. In the attack, Richarlison trained in João Pedro's position, while Luiz Henrique, who scored two goals in the last match, may take the place of Martinelli or Estêvão.
A probable line-up for Brazil for the duel is: Alisson; Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, Alexsandro and Caio Henrique; Andrey, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Luiz Henrique, Estêvão and Richarlison.
