Brazil play India in a friendly on Saturday at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, 11:00 Brasília time, with Carlo Ancelotti again able to call on Corinthians trio Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho and Breno Bidon.
All three have featured in this window’s matches against Australia. Hugo Souza started the 1-1 draw on the 25th. Matheuzinho also played in that game, then came on for Vanderson 16 minutes into the second half of the 4-2 win four days later, while Breno Bidon appeared only in the second fixture, replacing Danilo Santos at 42 minutes of the second half.
ge.globo reports that the XI to face India could include Matheuzinho. Friday’s training lined up Pedro Morisco, Matheuzinho, Marquinhos, Arthur Dias, Douglas Santos, Danilo, Andrey Santos, Gabriel Bontempo, Estevão, Pedro and Vini Júnior.
The match will be shown live by Rede Globo on free-to-air, by SporTV on pay TV, and on ge tv via YouTube.
Their involvement could earn Corinthians around R$ 12,000 per player per match through Fifa’s Club Benefits Programme, rising to R$ 108,000 if all three feature in every scheduled game. After Saturday’s friendly, Brazil conclude this international window and Corinthians await the trio’s return for the Campeonato Brasileiro trip to Internacional on Wednesday at Beira-Rio, 19:30, in round 29.
