Martinelli could get Ancelotti call-up after CBF check with Fluminense | OneFootball

The midfielder Martinelli, from Fluminense, may be called up to the Brazilian national team this Monday. According to journalist Pedro Brandão from Lance, the CBF contacted the club to inquire about the player's visa situation for the United States.

The midfielder's name was not on the preliminary list of call-ups prepared by Carlo Ancelotti's technical team. However, not being on the preliminary list does not prevent Martinelli from being called up in the official announcement. In practice, the initial list serves only as a consultation for the clubs and does not limit the coach's final choices.

The Brazilian national team is preparing for two friendlies in the United States. The first will be against France on March 26, at 5 PM. The second match will be against Croatia on March 31, at 9 PM. This will be the last call-up before the World Cup.

If confirmed on the list, Martinelli will be called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time.
