Youth roundup: São Paulo midfielder gets Brazil call, U17 slip up | OneFootball

Tuesday (4) featured São Paulo’s youth academy teams in action and a player called up to the Brazil Under-15 national team.

Midfielder Lucas Jorge was once again called up to represent Brazil in his age group. The Tricolor player was selected by head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa for two friendlies against Uruguay, scheduled for August 19 and 22 at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ).

The period is part of the team’s preparation for the Liga Evolução. The player is set to report on the 13th.

This is another call-up for the São Paulo player this season. In May, Lucas Jorge also represented Brazil in the Vlatko Marković Tournament in Croatia, a competition in which the Brazilian national team finished as runner-up.

Under-17 stumble in Rio

Also on Tuesday, São Paulo drew 0-0 with Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in the 10th round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship. With the result, Tricolor reached 13 points in the competition and sit in 11th place.

The first half was evenly contested, with both teams creating chances to open the scoring.
