Andreas Pereira of Palmeiras reports for Brazil duty | OneFootball

This Saturday, Andreas Pereira reported to the Brazilian Section at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro. The Palmeiras midfielder was called up by Carlo Ancelotti last Friday, after Kaio Jorge got injured.

The Brazilian players had a day off on Friday. Last Thursday, the team defeated Chile 3-0 at Maracanã, in the 17th round of the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup.

The delegation gathered on Saturday morning to start preparing to face Bolivia in the last round of the tournament. The match will be at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) on Tuesday, at the Municipal Stadium in El Alto, Bolivia.

Changed Call-up

This is not the first change in Ancelotti's list for the final stretch of the Qualifiers. Recently, the coach called up right-back Vitinho from Botafogo, and midfielder Jean Lucas from Bahia, to replace Vanderson and Joelinton, respectively.

Additionally, Alex Sandro from Flamengo had to be cut from the call-up, but the coach chose not to call another left-back.

Verdão's Reinforcement

Andreas Pereira was announced by Palmeiras on August 29 and hasn't even debuted for the new team yet, but he was already on Carlo Ancelotti's radar because he was part of the previous list against Ecuador and Paraguay.
