Ancelotti weighs up ex-Flamengo call-up for Brazil's World Cup | OneFootball

Which ex-Flamengo player could play in the World Cup for the Brazilian National Team?

Liverpool (England) manager Arne Slot confirmed that Alisson is only expected to return at the end of the European season. For this reason, the player risks being left out of the World Cup. Former Flamengo player Hugo Souza is being considered to play in the tournament if the starting goalkeeper is unavailable.

Currently, Taffarel, the Brazilian National Team’s goalkeeping coach, is responsible for staying in contact with Hugo Souza, former Flamengo player and now at Corinthians. However, the player will only be called up if Alisson is unavailable.

In addition to Hugo Souza, the Brazilian National Team is also monitoring the situation of John, from Nottingham Forest. The goalkeeper is in great form in England, but like Alisson, he has been struggling with injuries this season.

Will any Flamengo player be called up for the World Cup?

Yes! Léo Pereira, Danilo and Alex Sandro are practically guaranteed spots in the World Cup with the Brazilian National Team. However, Lucas Paquetá is fighting for a place in midfield. The final squad will be announced on May 18.

And Flamengo?

While the final squad has not yet been announced, the Flamengo players are therefore focused on the upcoming matches of the season. This Sunday (05), the Rubro-Negro faces Santos at the Maracanã in the 10th round of the Brasileirão. The match will therefore be played starting at 5:30 PM (Brasília time).
