The Brazil National Team continues its preparations for the match against Haiti, in the second round of the World Cup group stage. On the morning of this Tuesday (16), Carlo Ancelotti had the Flamengo players available, in addition to Neymar making an appearance on the pitch.
One of the main developments in Brazil’s session was Neymar’s return to the field. However, it is worth noting that the national team’s No. 10 only took part in the physical work alongside his teammates on the pitch and even had a few touches of the ball. When it came time for the tactical portion, though, he sat out.
This first step is extremely important for Neymar within the Brazil National Team. That is because, until now, the Santos player had not yet had this contact with the rest of the squad. According to the schedule, a possible debut for the No. 10 against Haiti, on Friday (19), is considered unlikely. As a result, there is now anticipation over whether the player will feature against Scotland.
DID ANCELOTTI HAVE FLAMENGO PLAYERS AVAILABLE IN BRAZIL TRAINING?
Throughout the entire session, Ancelotti had Flamengo’s quartet available. Thus, Léo Pereira, Lucas Paquetá, Alex Sandro and Danilo took part in the tactical and physical exercises with the ‘Seleção’ this Tuesday (16), in the United States.
WHAT WERE THE OTHER MOVEMENTS IN BRAZIL’S TRAINING SESSION?
In Monday’s training session (15), Raphinha, Gabriel Magalhães and Bruno Guimarães were absent due to physical fatigue from the match against Morocco. In Friday’s clash (13), in fact, the Barcelona (ESP) forward was the ‘Seleção’ player who ran the most on the field.
WHAT IS BRAZIL’S SCHEDULE UNTIL THE NEXT WORLD CUP MATCH?
In addition to training on Monday (15) and Tuesday (16), Ancelotti will also lead sessions on Wednesday (17) and Thursday (18). That means the Italian coach will still have two more training sessions to define the starting lineup.
WHEN IS THE BRAZIL VS HAITI WORLD CUP MATCH?
The match between Brazil and Haiti takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Friday (19), in Philadelphia, United States. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the clash on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo and SBT (free-to-air), SporTV (pay TV), NGSports (streaming) and CazéTV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.
