Coach Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for another call-up at the helm of the Brazilian National Team. This Wednesday (01), the Italian coach will announce the list of players for the friendlies against South Korea and Japan. Thus, three athletes from Flamengo are on the preliminary list of the 'Canarinho'.
Léo Ortiz, Alex Sandro and Samuel Lino may be called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the next FIFA Date, which takes place between October 6 and 14. The Brazilian National Team coach will announce the official list at 3 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (01). The information is from ‘Lance!’.
It is worth noting that Léo Ortiz, Alex Sandro and Samuel Lino were also present in the last preliminary list of the Brazilian National Team, along with Léo Pereira and Danilo. On that occasion, the full-back appeared among the called-up players but had to be 'cut' due to a muscle injury.
On the other hand, Samuel Lino received his first chance in the Brazilian National Team after Matheus Cunha was injured. The Flamengo forward was even a starter in the match between Brazil and Brazil, which ended in a 1-0 victory for the Bolivian team.
Qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the Brazilian National Team is starting a series of friendlies to prepare for the tournament. Thus, on October 10, Brazil faces South Korea in Seoul.
Immediately following, on October 14, the Brazilian National Team faces Japan in Tokyo. It is worth noting that this will be Brazil's penultimate call-up in 2025, as in November the 'Canarinho' will have two new friendlies against African teams.
Meanwhile, Léo Ortiz, Alex Sandro and Samuel Lino remain focused on Flamengo's commitments. This Thursday (02), Filipe Luís' team faces Cruzeiro at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Cruzeiro match.
