Coach Carlo Ancelotti will have the chance to make the first call-up for the Brazilian National Team with - in fact - his own style.
The Italian had already announced the squad for the last FIFA dates (Ecuador and Paraguay), but he had just arrived.
As a result, that list had a lot of input from the permanent technical staff, with only a few "suggestions" from Ancelotti, according to Uol.
Now, the coach will call up 23 players for the matches against Chile and Bolivia. And it will be a VERY ALTERNATIVE selection.
The call-up will be made this Monday (25th), at 3:30 PM.
Neymar is injured and is not expected to be called up. And names like Rodrygo and Vini Jr are also likely to be left out.
The preliminary list (released by CNN Brazil) has several new names, such as Gabriel Brazão (Santos), Paulo Henrique (Vasco), Kaiki (Cruzeiro), Jean Lucas (Bahia)...
Brazil vs. Chile will be on September 4th, a Thursday, at 9:30 PM, at Maracanã.
Meanwhile, Bolivia vs. Brazil will be on September 9th, a Tuesday, at 8:30 PM, at Estadio Municipal El Alto - 4,090 meters above sea level.
The press has released some names from the preliminary list. But it is already known that some of them will not be on the final list, like Rodrygo and Vini Jr.
Check out some of the names on this preliminary list:
Goalkeepers: Gabriel Brazão (Santos) and Hugo Souza (Corinthians)
Defenders: Éder Militão (Real Madrid), Fabrício Bruno (Cruzeiro), Léo Ortiz (Flamengo), and Léo Pereira (Flamengo)
Full-backs: Vitinho and Alex Telles (Botafogo), Paulo Henrique (Vasco), Kaiki Bruno (Cruzeiro), and Alex Sandro (Flamengo)
Midfielders: Danilo (Botafogo), Marcos Antônio (São Paulo), Matheus Pereira (Cruzeiro), and Jean Lucas (Bahia)
Forwards: Kaio Jorge (Cruzeiro), Neymar (Santos), Rodrygo (Real Madrid), and Samuel Lino (Flamengo)
