Waiting on Joelinton, Brazil call up Paulo Henrique and Bruno Guimarães | OneFootball

The Brazilian National Team is close to having all the players called up available for coach Carlo Ancelotti for the October FIFA date. This Wednesday, right-back Paulo Henrique from Vasco and midfielder Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle joined the delegation in Seoul, South Korea. With this, only Joelinton is still awaited and should present himself in the afternoon, completing the 26 names called by the coach.

Paulo Henrique was called at the last minute to replace Wesley from Roma, who was cut due to injury. This is the first call-up for the Vasco player, who is in great form with the Rio de Janeiro team.

Bruno Guimarães returns to the group as one of the main pieces of the midfield, reinforcing the sector that also includes Casemiro, João Gomes, André, Paquetá, and Joelinton himself.

While the delegation is being completed, Carlo Ancelotti intensifies the work at the Goyang Stadium. In the first two training sessions on South Korean soil, the coach worked on offensive movements in a reduced field, but has not yet given clues about the lineup for the friendly against South Korea, scheduled for Friday at 8 am (Brasília time), at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

After the match against the South Koreans, Brazil will remain in Seoul until Sunday, when they will depart for Tokyo. The second commitment will be against Japan, next Tuesday at 7:30 am (Brasília time), at the Ajinomoto Stadium.
