WHAT IS LEO NANNETTI’S SITUATION, FLAMENGO’S GOALKEEPER, AT THE WORLD CUP?

Goalkeeper Leo Nannetti has been part of Brazil’s preparations since the Granja Comary period in Teresópolis. Even without being officially called up, the Flamengo player traveled with the Seleção squad to the United States in early June.

Taffarel was the main person behind Leo Nannetti’s presence in Brazil’s activities. That is because the national team’s goalkeeping coach likes to work with four players in the position during training sessions. In this way, the professional requested the presence of the red-and-black under-20 team’s No. 1 in the squad’s World Cup sessions.

DOES LEO NANNETTI GO TO BRAZIL’S WORLD CUP MATCHES?

During the World Cup, Leo Nannetti follows the same schedule as all the players. The goalkeeper even goes to Brazil’s World Cup matches; however, he is not available to Ancelotti because he was not officially called up. Finally, Alisson, Ederson, and Weverton are the goalkeepers available to the Italian coach.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCH AT THE WORLD CUP?

With Leo Nannetti in training, Brazil is preparing to face its next opponent at the World Cup. In short, the Seleção’s opponent in the round of 16 is Norway. The ball kicks off at 5 p.m. (Brasília time) in New Jersey, United States.
