In light of this, Flamengo is already preparing for possible absences at the start of the season. The official confirmation will be released shortly with the announcement of the final list.

WHAT ARE THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM'S FRIENDLIES?

Firstly, the Brazilian National Team will face France in a friendly on March 26, starting at 5 PM (Brasília time), in Boston. Shortly after, the ‘Canarinho’ will take on Croatia on the 31st of the same month, at 9 PM (Brasília time), in Orlando.

COULD FLAMENGO HAVE OTHER PLAYERS CALLED UP?

Besides the names on Brazil's pre-list, other national teams are also monitoring Flamengo players. The coach of Uruguay, for example, might call up Arrascaeta, Guillermo Varela, and De La Cruz.

Similarly, Ecuador might include Gonzalo Plata in their call-up, while Colombia is considering calling Jorge Carrascal. Finally, the Chilean National Team keeps Erick Pulgar on their radar, and the Italian National Team is keeping an eye on Jorginho.
