⚠️ Ancelotti confirms new blow, hints at stand-in in defence v France | OneFootball

Coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that center-back Marquinhos will not be available for Brazil’s match against France this Thursday.

With another absence due to a physical issue, the national team will have an entirely backup defense against the French, as Alisson, Gabriel Magalhães, Militão, and Alex Sandro had already been ruled out earlier.

The coach confirmed that the defense against France will feature Wesley and Douglas Santos as full-backs, with Léo Pereira in central defense.

The Italian revealed that the only doubt is who will partner Léo in defense: Bremer, Ibañez, and Danilo are the options.

According to Ancelotti, Marquinhos could return in the other friendly, against Croatia.
