Ancelotti surprises after ‘snubbing’ Flamengo player for Brazil squad | OneFootball

What Did Carlo Ancelotti Do After Dropping Alex Sandro from Flamengo from the Brazilian National Team?

The Brazilian National Team faced a last-minute setback as Alex Sandro from Flamengo suffered a calf injury and had to be 'cut'. In light of the absence of the red-black full-back from the list, Carlo Ancelotti took an unexpected action for the 'Amarelinha'.

As is customary, whenever someone is cut from the list, another athlete is called up. However, Carlo Ancelotti did not strictly follow this and surprised everyone by not calling another player to replace Alex Sandro. Thus, the 'Canarinho' will have Caio Henrique from Monaco (FRA) and Douglas Santos from Zenit (RUS) for the position.

DID ANCELOTTI SIGN ANOTHER FLAMENGO PLAYER?

With the 'cut' of Alex Sandro, Flamengo will not have any players available to Ancelotti for the next two Brazilian National Team matches in the Qualifiers. This Wednesday (27), the Italian coach called Jean Lucas, a product of Ninho, to replace Joelinton from Newcastle (ENG).

WHAT ARE THE NEXT MATCHES FOR THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM?
