Alex Sandro to start? Check Brazil’s likely line-up for Senegal clash | OneFootball

Flamengo Player Alex Sandro Trained with the Starters and Is Expected to Play on Saturday (15)

The Brazilian National Team will take the field next Saturday (15) to face Senegal in the penultimate friendly of the year. In training this Thursday (13), coach Carlo Ancelotti outlined the starting lineup with the full-back Alex Sandro from Flamengo.

WHAT IS BRAZIL'S PROBABLE LINEUP FOR SATURDAY?

Ederson, Éder Militão, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, and Alex Sandro; Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães; Estêvão, Matheus Cunha, Vini Jr, and Rodrygo.

If Ancelotti follows the logic of the last FIFA Date, the use of Alex Sandro in this first game is good news. After all, the coach usually changes the team significantly from one match to another. In other words, if the Flamengo full-back starts against Senegal, the chances increase for the player to be rested on Tuesday (18) against Tunisia.

On the other hand, the logic is reversed when it comes to Danilo. The defender is expected to be a substitute in the first game of the 'FIFA Date window' and is hopeful of getting minutes in the match against Tunisia. It is worth noting that, besides the Brazilians, Flamengo has five other players called up: Plata (Ecuador), Carrascal (Colombia), Arrascaeta, Varela, and Viña (Uruguay).

WHEN WILL BRAZIL'S GAMES BE?

Brazil's first game, this Saturday (15), starts at 1 PM (Brasília time). The match will take place at Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal (ENG), in London, England. Globo (open channel), SporTV (cable TV), and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.

Subsequently, Brazil, with Alex Sandro and Danilo, will face Tunisia on Tuesday (18) at 4:30 PM (Brasília time). The match will be held at Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre-Mauroy, home of Lille (FRA). Both matches will have full coverage by Coluna do Fla.
