Brazil train with full squad for the first time; see | OneFootball

On Wednesday (23), the Brazilian National Team held its first training session with the full squad under Carlo Ancelotti, at Ballymore Stadium in Brisbane, Australia.

With the morning arrivals of goalkeeper Otávio, center-back Arthur Dias, and full-back Vanderson, the Italian coach finally had all 26 called-up players available to begin tactical work during the FIFA international window.

Logistical fatigue is the coaching staff’s main concern at the moment.

The 13-hour time difference from Brasília and the long trips directly affect the planning, requiring special attention to the physical recovery of players based in Europe, such as the Real Madrid duo Vini Jr. and Endrick.

Reflecting the team’s rebuilding process — only nine players in this squad were at the last World Cup — Ancelotti is keeping the lineup a mystery.

The starting 11 should only be decided in Thursday’s (24) session, shortly before the delegation travels to the city of the first match.

National Team friendly schedule:

Friday (09/25) at 7 a.m. (Brasília time): Brazil vs. Australia (Townsville, at Queensland Country Bank Stadium)

Tuesday (09/29): Brazil vs. Australia (Brisbane).

Thursday (10/03): Brazil vs. India (Kolkata, India).
