Ancelotti to watch Flamengo v Athletico-PR before naming Brazil World Cup squad | OneFootball

Ancelotti will be at Flamengo v Athletico-PR on Sunday, then name Brazil’s World Cup squad on Monday 18.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the Campeonato Brasileiro round 16 fixture is set for Sunday 17 at 19:30 Brasília time at Arena da Baixada.

It will be the last match he watches from the stands.

One dilemma for the Italian is Pedro, who has never been called up by him but still has a strong chance of making the final list. The Flamengo striker has scored nine times in the club’s past 17 matches and supplied two assists.

Danilo is already assured of a place. Lucas Paquetá, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro are also well regarded for inclusion. Samuel Lino and Léo Ortiz are outside contenders who continue to hope for a spot.
