First Training Session

With these players, Ancelotti led the first training session in the Korean capital. The activity aimed to minimize the effects of jet lag on the players. Another six athletes joined the group in the late afternoon in Korea. They are: Lucas Paquetá, Estêvão, Gabriel Magalhães, Martinelli, Richarlison, and Hugo Souza.

This Tuesday, the arrival of nine more players is expected, among them Vitinho and John, athletes who were last-minute additions to the squad. In addition, the day will also feature two press conferences and a new training session, with 15 minutes open to the media.

Schedule

Finally, on Wednesday, the rest of the squad is expected to be complete for Ancelotti. Thus, the Brazil coach will have two days with all the players before the first friendly, against South Korea, on Friday at 8 a.m. (Brasília time).

After that, the team will remain in Seoul until next Sunday, when they will travel to Tokyo. There, Brazil will play against Japan on Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. at Ajinomoto Stadium.
