There are four days left until Brazil makes its debut in the World Cup. Even so, coach Carlo Ancelotti already has a likely lineup in mind for the team’s first match of the tournament. Three Flamengo players, in fact, are expected to start.
According to GE, Alex Sandro is the overwhelming favorite to play at left back for Brazil against Morocco. Therefore, Douglas Santos should start on the bench on Saturday (13).
In addition, Danilo, who plays as a center back for Flamengo, should be Ancelotti’s first option to replace Wesley. The former Rubro-Negro player was ruled out after suffering a muscle injury in a friendly against Egypt.
Finally, Lucas Paquetá is expected to be the third Flamengo player to start for Brazil against Morocco. Ancelotti liked the midfielder’s performances in the last few matches and should therefore give Gávea’s number 20 a chance on Saturday (13).
However, Ancelotti will still have four more training sessions to decide Brazil’s lineup. The match against Morocco will be played this Saturday (13) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), with live coverage on free-to-air channel Rede Globo, on pay TV via SporTV, and on CazéTV on YouTube.
