Casemiro booked, will miss Bolivia clash in World Cup qualifiers | OneFootball

Casemiro will not face Bolivia next Tuesday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at the altitude of El Alto, in the final round of the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup.

The Brazilian National Team's midfielder received a yellow card this Thursday in the 3-0 victory over Chile at the Maracanã, and will have to serve an automatic suspension in the next round.

Without Casemiro, coach Carlo Ancelotti may choose to bring in Andrey Santos, who replaced him against Chile, or opt for Lucas Paquetá in a more defensive role, forming a midfield duo with Bruno Guimarães.

The upcoming matches for the Brazilian National Team will serve as a testing ground for coach Carlo Ancelotti to build the core of the squad that will compete in the World Cup. Since they no longer have any aspirations in the Qualifiers, the Brazilian team, in theory, will travel to Bolivia to fulfill the schedule.

The tendency is for Brazil to play six more friendly matches as preparation until the World Cup call-up, but it is unlikely that any of them will be played on home soil. Therefore, the match against Chile may have been the farewell for the National Team playing at home before the World Cup competition.
