The Brazilian National Team held a recovery training session on Sunday morning, the day after their 2-0 victory in the friendly against Senegal at Emirates Stadium. The players trained at Arsenal's training center in London before heading to France, where they will play against Tunisia.

According to images released by the CBF, the starting players against Senegal, such as Rodrygo, Vinicius Júnior, and Estêvão, stayed inside the facilities. The others went out onto the field and took part in a ball activity led by Carlo Ancelotti.

The Brazilian delegation will travel to Lille in the afternoon. There, the group will hold a final training session before the match against Tunisia, scheduled for Tuesday.

Absence

Ancelotti will have an absence for the next friendly. Defender Gabriel Magalhães suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh and has been ruled out. The defender will not even travel with his teammates to Lille.

The coaching staff of the National Team chose not to call up another player to replace Gabriel. As a result, it is likely that Eder Militão will move to center-back, partnering with Marquinhos, and Wesley will take over at right-back. The other defensive options are Danilo, from Flamengo, and Fabrício Bruno, from Cruzeiro.

More changes?

The Brazilian National Team is expected to have some changes in the lineup to face Tunisia. Carlo Ancelotti will maintain the 4-2-4 formation and is likely to make changes for physical reasons. In a press conference on Saturday, the Italian coach indicated that Vitor Roque, from Palmeiras, could get a chance in attack.

“A player who can be a reference up front is Vitor Roque. He is doing very well at Palmeiras. He is an option and has a chance to play the next game,” said the coach.
