Paquetá boosted in Brazil's World Cup squad after Estêvão injury | OneFootball

Why has Paquetá gained momentum in the Brazilian National Team?

Paquetá has been delivering strong performances again in the Flamengo shirt. In addition, due to Estêvão’s injury, the midfielder has a great chance of being called up to the National Team for the World Cup.

According to ESPN, there were two spots left in the Brazilian National Team, with Paquetá, Endrick, and Igor Thiago competing for them. However, with Estêvão’s injury, coach Carlo Ancelotti now has three spots available, allowing him to fit in the entire trio.

That said, there are two spots left and only two players in the running: Paquetá and Igor Thiago. Therefore, there is a strong possibility that the Flamengo player will wear the National Team shirt at the World Cup.

Is Paquetá available for Flamengo?

No! Paquetá suffered a muscle injury against Bahia in the Brazilian Championship and has no scheduled return to the pitch. The midfielder did not even travel with the squad to Argentina, where the match against Estudiantes will take place.

What time is the Flamengo vs Estudiantes match?

Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Argentina, in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV and by Paramount+ via streaming.
