On Saturday, the Brazilian football team conducted its first training session before traveling to La Paz, where it will face Bolivia in the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers, with only eleven reserve players, as the main players remained in the gym. . After a short but well deserved break after a 4-0 win over Chile last Thursday.
This afternoon’s training session was expected by the press, who sought to identify possible alternatives to Neymar and Vinicius Junior who, due to a yellow card, would not be able to play in the Brazilian shirt at La Paz.
However, Tite has only invited eleven reserve players to train, while the mains have dedicated themselves to working out in the gym, so replacements can only be determined at his scheduled press conference this Sunday.
What has been confirmed is that the Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid strikers have been released to join their clubs, and both Neymar and Vinicius Junior have already traveled to France and Spain.
Vinicius will have these days with another international who prematurely ended his international break: David Alaba. The Austrian defender, as confirmed by the Austrian Federation itself, leaves the camp of his team. He will not play the friendly match against Scotland next Tuesday (8:45 pm), after his farewell to the World Cup, as they fell to Wales led by Gareth Bale (2-1).
The Real Madrid player is removed from the list “for reasons related to the control and renewal of the workload”. In other words, to rest, something Real Madrid will certainly appreciate.
Both Vinicius and Alaba are two of Ancelotti’s most used players, and their early comeback before the five games in 15 days that the team will have to face is great news.
