Rayan Lucas has been called up by the Brazil national team for the U-20 World Cup, which will take place in Chile between September 27 and October 19. The Sporting player, who has had a better-than-expected start to the season, will be absent from the Lions’ squad for the next few weeks.
In the early hours of the morning, the player himself, a regular presence in the training sessions of the main green and white team led by Rui Borges, and with minutes for the B team, managed by João Gião, announced his arrival in the Chilean capital on social media.
The team coached by Ramon Menezes will take action already this coming Saturday to Sunday, starting at midnight, facing Mexico in the opening match of Group C. Afterwards, the Canarinha will play against Morocco (October 2) and Spain (October 4).
Rayan Lucas has impressed Rui Borges in these first months of work at Sporting, as our newspaper previously reported, exclusively. The player arrived in Alcochete to develop and grow with the secondary squad, but his strong performances may earn him a debut for the first team in the near future.
At the start of this season, Rayan Lucas has already played four matches for Sporting’s B team, always as a starter. In total, he has accumulated 305 minutes under João Gião’s management. The Brazilian midfielder has also been called up for first-team commitments, but ended the matches as an unused substitute.
