The Brazilian National Team is getting ready to face India this Saturday (3) in another friendly under Carlo Ancelotti.
The main change in the lineup will be the replacement of Raphinha, who was ruled out after suffering swelling in his right thigh, an injury that sparked public dissatisfaction from Barcelona, his club.
According to O Globo, in place of the No. 11, the Italian coach is expected to keep the foundation of the 4-3-3 system that worked in the 4-2 win over Australia.
As a result, Estêvão has emerged as the favorite to take the spot on the right side of the attack, which would move Rayan into the center-forward role.
The attack would still feature Vinícius Júnior on the left.
However, Ancelotti still has two more training sessions to decide on the team and could test Pedro or Endrick as the attacking focal point.
In midfield, new faces are also pushing for space. Martinelli, who made his debut last Tuesday, made a good impression in the minutes he was on the pitch and could get his first opportunity as a starter.
Another player hoping to be tested by the Italian coach is Samuel Lino.
