Flamengo duo on Brazil preliminary list as Ancelotti readies first post-World Cup window | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti will name Brazil's squad on Wednesday for the first FIFA window since the 2026 World Cup. According to Coluna Do Fla, two Flamengo players are on the preliminary list, and the outlet will carry live reaction hosted by João Mércio.

The announcement is set for 15:00 Brasília time at CBF headquarters in Barra da Tijuca, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro.

Attention centres on left winger Samuel Lino, in outstanding form for Flamengo, who is eyeing a second Brazil appearance.

Striker Pedro is another possible inclusion. Flamengo's top scorer this season, the number nine missed the last World Cup, a decision that drew heavy criticism at the time.

Brazil face Australia on 25 September at Queensland Country Bank in Townsville, then meet the same opponents on 29 September at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

After those two matches, Brazil will play India for the first time on three October at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, also known as Salt Lake Stadium, in Kolkata. The itinerary broadens the national team's presence in underexplored markets, and the India fixture is expected to draw strong local interest. Ancelotti's focus, however, remains on the team's competitive level during this window.
