Brazil land in Boston for France friendly; likely line-up | OneFootball

The Brazil National Team landed in Boston on Wednesday night, on the eve of the friendly against France, the first match of this March Fifa window. Earlier, coach Carlo Ancelotti led the final training session at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando and tested the lineup expected to start the match.

The match against France will take place in Foxborough, near Boston, Massachusetts.

This morning’s training session was the only one with the full squad available. The last players to join the group were Douglas Santos and Luiz Henrique, who had issues with their flight departing from Russia.

As Ancelotti had already said in a press conference, Brazil will be without Marquinhos. The PSG center back, who has a hip problem, will be rested and will not be available.

In defense, Wesley, Léo Pereira and Douglas Santos are confirmed. The only doubt is the other center back spot: Ibañez, Bremer and Danilo are the options. Brazil is expected to keep the same system used recently, with two natural midfielders and four forwards.

Probable Brazil lineup

Brazil’s probable lineup for the match is: Ederson; Wesley, Bremer (Ibañez or Danilo), Léo Pereira and Douglas Santos; Casemiro and Andrey Santos; Raphinha, Vinícius Júnior, Matheus Cunha (Martinelli or Endrick) and João Pedro.

The match is scheduled for this Thursday at 5 p.m. (Brasília time) at Gillette Stadium. After that, the team will face Croatia in a friendly next Tuesday at 9 p.m. at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

This will be Ancelotti’s last opportunity to test the squad before drawing up the final list for the World Cup.
