Brazil squad touch down in Lille for friendly against Tunisia | OneFootball

The Brazilian National Team is already in Lille, France, the site of the friendly match against Tunisia. The delegation landed on French soil this Sunday, the day after their 2-0 victory over Senegal at Emirates Stadium.

Before traveling to France, the players held a recovery training session in London, at the Arsenal training center. The starters against Senegal, such as Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Estêvão, stayed inside the facilities. The others went out to the field and took part in a ball activity led by Carlo Ancelotti.

In Lille, the National Team was greeted by some fans at the hotel entrance. The CBF caught fans taking photos and hugging Vini Junior, the Real Madrid star.

This Monday, Brazil will hold its final training session before the match against Tunisia, scheduled for Tuesday.

Absence

Ancelotti will have an absence for the next friendly. The defender Gabriel Magalhães suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh and was ruled out. The defender did not even travel with his teammates to France.

The National Team's coaching staff chose not to call up another player to replace Gabriel. As a result, Eder Militão is expected to move to center-back, partnering with Marquinhos, and Wesley will take over at right-back. The other options for defense are Danilo, from Flamengo, and Fabrício Bruno, from Cruzeiro.

More changes?

The Brazilian National Team is expected to have some changes in the lineup to face Tunisia. Carlo Ancelotti will maintain the 4-2-4 formation and should make changes for physical reasons. In a press conference this Saturday, the Italian coach indicated that Vitor Roque, from Palmeiras, could get a chance in attack.

“A player who can be a reference up front is Vitor Roque. He is doing very well at Palmeiras. He is an option, he has a chance to play the next game,” said the coach.
