Any surprises? Brazil 🇧🇷 name squad to face Japan and Singapore
Brazil’s squad has officially been named for the final FIFA international window of the year.
At an event held on Thursday afternoon (29) at CBF headquarters, coach Carlo Ancelotti announced his list of 26 players for the friendlies against Japan and Singapore.
The matches will take place at Singapore’s National Stadium on November 14 (Saturday) and 17 (Tuesday).
And there are more new faces compared with the previous squad.
Ancelotti was expected to leave out players from teams fighting for the Brasileirão title. And that proved to be the case.
Only five Brazil-based players were called up, but none from Flamengo or Palmeiras.
The CBF has yet to announce the dates and kickoff times for Matchweek 35 of the Brasileirão, which will take place immediately after the friendlies.
The provisional date is Wednesday, November 18. One day after the match against Singapore.
