Defender Robert Renan, from Zenit and former Corinthians, was called up for the Brazilian Team to replace Nino, from Fluminense, who was injured in the match against Goiás last Sunday. The team’s doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, spoke with the Medical Department of the Rio de Janeiro club before deciding on the cut.
Robert Renan is expected to join the group commanded by Ramon Menezes in Barcelona this Wednesday. On Saturday, Brazil faces Guinea in a friendly in the Catalan city and on the 20th the confrontation is against Senegal, in Portugal.
The former Corinthians player recently represented Brazil in the under-20 team, also commanded by Ramon Menezes, in the category’s World Cup. At the time, the defender was sent off in the round of 16 against Tunisia and was left out of the quarterfinals clash against Israel, which ended up eliminating Brazil by 3 to 2.
