The Brazilian team will face Guinea and Senegal in their next friendlies and will not be able to count on a defender; see who can be cut
A Brazilian Team received bad news and should make a cut in the next few hours. This because, Nino suffered a muscle injury in the match of the Fluminense against Goias last Sunday, the 11th, and will not be able to defend Brazil in the clashes against Guinea and also from Senegal. It is worth mentioning that the matches against the African teams will take place on the next 17th and 20th of June, respectively.
Nino was one of the surprises in Ramon Menezes’ call-up, but the Fluminense defender suffered a muscle injury against Goiás and will not be available for the Brazilian national team. At least that’s what the “Globo Esporte” website confirmed this Monday afternoon, the 12th. The tendency is for the CBF to manifest itself in the next few hours to announce a decision in relation to the defender.
Nino’s injury took the adductor muscle of the right thigh and, therefore, the recovery is a little longer and will leave him out of the confrontations of this date-Fifa of the Brazilian National Team. There is an expectation that a new name will be announced by the CBF to replace the Fluminense defender. The player is one of Flu’s top scorers this season and has five goals, plus an assist.
Remember who was called up by Ramon Menezes for the Brazilian National Team’s games against Guinea and Senegal!
- Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Ederson (Manchester City) and Weverton (Palmeiras);
- Full-backs: Danilo (Juventus), Vanderson (Monaco), Alex Telles (Sevilla) and Ayrton Lucas (Flamengo);
