Which Flamengo player lost his spot in Brazil’s starting lineup?


Carlo Ancelotti is still using training time to get an even better look at the quality of the 26 called-up players. As a result, Alex Sandro, Flamengo’s left back, lost his place in the outline of the Brazil National Team lineup for Saturday’s (06) match against Egypt.

Ancelotti’s initial idea is to give all the players some game time and minutes on the pitch. That way, Douglas Santos comes in at left back in place of Alex Sandro. It is worth noting that Flamengo’s number 6 is one of the most experienced players in the current ‘Canarinho’ squad.

IS THERE A FLAMENGO PLAYER IN CONTENTION FOR BRAZIL’S STARTING LINEUP?

While Alex Sandro will be rested, Ancelotti is expected to keep Léo Pereira in central defense. The Flamengo number 4 remains in the team because Gabriel Magalhães is not yet at the same physical level as his teammates. This delay is due to the fact that the defender was with Arsenal (ENG) until last Saturday (30), when he played in the Champions League final.

Meanwhile, the one certain to start for Brazil against Egypt is Lucas Paquetá. In an interview this Friday (05), Ancelotti confirmed the Flamengo academy product among the national team starters. The Italian coach’s idea is to get an even better understanding of the player’s qualities in midfield.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S PROBABLE LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST EGYPT?

Alisson, Wesley, Marquinhos, Léo Pereira and Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, Lucas Paquetá and Raphinha; Igor Thiago and Vini Júnior.

WHEN IS THE BRAZIL VS EGYPT MATCH?

The match between Brazil and Egypt takes place at 7pm (Brasília time) this Saturday (06), in the United States. Therefore, as usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the clash on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (free-to-air) and SporTV (subscription TV) will broadcast the match.
