Former Chelsea man does not select current Blues player in starting Xl for national side | OneFootball

Former Chelsea player Alexandre Pato has not selected Joao Pedro in his starting Xl for Brazil when asked about it this week.

We are into another international break now, and that means pure boredom for most of us! But it also does mean that at least we still have some football to watch with the international games on and starting up over the weekend and into next week.

EXCLUSIVE! 6 Chelsea players have already started exploring moves away this summer, with 5 others also in doubt

We will still get so watch some Chelsea players in action for their countries, but will we see Pedro for Brazil?

Brazil have some quality players within their squad, there are no two ways about it. And Pato, who spent a very short time playing for Chelsea in his career, seems to have ignored Pedro in his starting Xl.

Pato picks his front three

In words picked up on SPTC this week, Pato said when selecting his Brazil front three for the World Cup this summer:

“Hopefully, Neymar is OK, but if he’s not ready, I think it is Raphinha, Vini Jr, and Cunha as forwards.”

Well, all I can say is that I’m glad it’s not me who has to pick the starting Xl for Brazil!

Unfortunately right now, things are moving quickly in a Graham Potter direction under Liam Rosenior, with the new coach struggling to find a way to turn things around.

Meanwhile, whilst I stay very sceptical on this one, Sky Sports have continued to push the story that Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is not untouchable at Chelsea this summer.
