Andreas Pereira joins Brazil squad after Kaio Jorge injury | OneFootball

The midfielder Andreas Pereira, from Palmeiras, was called up this Friday (5th) by coach Carlo Ancelotti for the last game of Brazil in the South American Qualifiers, against Bolivia.

The athlete will take the place of the forward Kaio Jorge, from Cruzeiro, who was dismissed due to a muscle injury suffered in the match against Chile, last Thursday.

This is not the first change in Ancelotti's list for the final stretch of the Qualifiers. Recently, the coach called up right-back Vitinho, from Botafogo, and midfielder Jean Lucas, from Bahia, to replace Vanderson and Joelinton, respectively.

Additionally, Alex Sandro, from Flamengo, had to be cut from the call-up, but the coach opted not to call another left-back.

Andreas Pereira has not even debuted for Palmeiras, but he was already on Carlo Ancelotti's radar because he was part of the previous list, against Ecuador and Paraguay.

Brazil faces Bolivia on September 9, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Municipal Stadium, in El Alto, Bolivia, to close the qualifying phase.
