O Brazil finished this Monday the preparation for the friendly against Senegal, this Tuesday. The activity commanded by interim Ramon Menezes had the absence of Rodrygo, who complained of pain in his right knee and should be embezzled in the match.
With that, striker Malcom, from Zenit, was chosen for the position and trained among the starters. This, therefore, must be the only change in the team that started the game against Guinea, last Sunday.
In this way, Ramon Menezes should send the following Brazilian team to the pitch: Ederson, Danilo, Éder Militão, Marquinhos and Ayrton Lucas; Casemiro, Joelinton and Lucas Paquetá; Malcom, Vini Junior and Richarlison.
Goalkeeper Alisson, with a trauma to the little finger of his left hand, suffered in last Friday’s activities, also did not go to the field and continues as a casualty.
Even entering just 37 minutes into the second half in the confrontation against Guinea, precisely in Rodrygo’s place, Malcom stood out and received praise from the coach responsible for the under-20 team. He has not been called up to defend Brazil since 2021.
The Brazilian team, finally, faces Senegal in an international friendly, at 4 pm (Brasília time) this Tuesday, at Estádio José Alvalade, in Lisbon (POR). The commitment will be the last for the Brazilians before the start of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, in September.
With racism there is no game!
We won on the field. And we will win this tough battle against racism off the field
