Corinthians keeper Hugo Souza dropped from Brazil squad, John called up | OneFootball

The goalkeeper Hugo Souza from Corinthians was cut from the Brazilian National Team after suffering a trauma to his left thigh and not recovering in time to serve the national team. In place of the black-and-white goalkeeper, coach Carlo Ancelotti called up John from Nottingham Forest, England.

Hugo had been preserved by Corinthians' technical staff for the match against Red Bull Bragantino due to the trauma in his left thigh. The goalkeeper then underwent treatment with the medical department to be able to help the club and the National Team.

The Corinthians' number 1 even trained on the field with trainers Marcelo Carpes and Luiz Fernando dos Santos. However, he continued to experience intense pain in his left thigh and had to be cut from the squad for the November friendlies.
