Pedro outlines Brazil return and admits travel 'will be tiring' | OneFootball

Pedro struck Flamengo’s second in a 2-1 win over Red Bull Bragantino and, having been called up by Carlo Ancelotti, is preparing to pull on the Brazil shirt again. According to Coluna Do Fla, the striker discussed the demanding travel and quick turnaround in this international window.

His goal arrived on 25 minutes of the second half. Arrascaeta’s corner was flicked on by Jorginho and Pedro finished unmarked at the back post with the goalkeeper stranded.

He acknowledged the trip would be long, close to 28 hours in the air, and said he would keep a clear head and focus on recovery with a match on Friday. He added the schedule would be tiring, so he aims to recover as much as possible.

Pedro also said the logistics would be complex, but he wants to seize the opportunity and enjoy the moment with the national team.

Brazil face Australia on Friday 25 at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville, then again on 29 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The squad then meet India for the first time on 3 October at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, the Salt Lake Stadium, in Kolkata.

Pedro is Flamengo’s top scorer in 2026, with 25 goals and nine assists in 47 appearances. He will be joined in the Brazil squad by Samuel Lino, a standout for Mengão since Leonardo Jardim’s arrival.
