Sporting’s new signing called up for Brazil squad | OneFootball

Rayan Lucas has been called up to represent Brazil’s U-20 national team. After joining Sporting’s B team on loan from Flamengo, he earned the trust of coach Ramon Menezes for the matches aimed at preparing for the U-20 World Cup, which will be held in Chile from September 27 to October 19.

In addition to being able to count on the defensive midfielder from João Gião’s team, other players called up for the canarinho squad include Otávio, Lucas Furtado, Pedro Cobra, Gilberto, Igor Serrote, Leandrinho, Athur Gabriel, Iago, João Souza, Jair Cunha, Bruno Alves, João Cruz, Murilo Rhikman, Pedrinho, Matheus Alves, Isaque, Gabriel Moscardo, Rafael Coutinho, Gustavo Prado, Lucas Ferreira, Erick Belé, Luighi, Lucas Meirelles, Nathan Fernandes, and Kaique Kenji.

The players will gather for training camp at Bragantino’s training complex until September 9, where they will play a series of test matches, and coach Ramon Menezes will have the task of choosing the athletes who will represent Brazil at the upcoming U-20 World Cup.

It’s worth recalling that Rayan Lucas arrived at Alvalade on a loan deal valid until the end of the season. Although he began pre-season training with the main squad under Rui Borges, the Brazilian now plays for João Gião’s B team.

At the start of this season, Rayan Lucas has already played three matches for Sporting’s B team, always as a starter. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder played 90 minutes against Torreense, 77 minutes against União de Leiria, and 70 minutes against Oliveirense, in what was the Lions’ first defeat of the season.
