The Brazil National Team is preparing to face Morocco this Saturday (13) in their World Cup opener. Opponents of the ‘Canarinha’, coach Mohamed Ouahbi has five doubts as he picks the Moroccan lineup for the match.
After all, Noussair Mazraoui and Abde Ezzalzouli left the match against Norway last Sunday (07) with shoulder and knee pain, respectively. In addition, Chemsdine Talbi and Nayef Aguerd are still recovering from muscle injuries. Finally, Anass Salah-Eddine was rested by Morocco in their last friendly before the World Cup.
Brazil suffered a last-minute blow ahead of the World Cup. That is because Wesley suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh against Egypt last Saturday (06) and was ruled out of the tournament. To fill the spot, coach Carlo Ancelotti called up midfielder Éderson from Atalanta (ITA).
In other words, the only absentee for the Brazil National Team against Morocco is Neymar. The Santos No. 10 is still being treated for a calf injury and there is hope he will be available to Ancelotti for the second round of the World Cup group stage.
Brazil and Morocco face each other this Saturday (13) in a match valid for the first round of the World Cup group stage. The ball gets rolling at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Brazil and Morocco through its website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV channel), GE TV (YouTube), Cazé TV (YouTube), SBT (free-to-air TV) and N Sports (pay TV channel) will broadcast the Brazil National Team’s opener.
