Brazil will face England and Spain in March friendlies

Due to an injury, Gabriel Magalhaes of Arsenal has withdrawals from the Brazil team for friendlies later this month. Monday night, the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) revealed the modifications made to the first team that head coach Dorival Junior had selected at the beginning of March.

Galeno, an attacking player for Porto who defeated Arsenal in the first leg of their round 16 match in the Champions League, has taken Martinelli’s spot. Leo Jardim, the custodian for Vasco da Gama, will take Ederson’s spot. Due to an injury, Flamengo defender Fabricio Bruno was also brought into the team in lieu of Marquinhos, the leader of Paris Saint-Germain.

With all three of the recent recruits at the senior international level, Brazil will be playing with more than just an experimental lineup when they take against Spain at the Bernabeu and England at Wembley on March 26 and 23, respectively.

Only nine of the 26 players have earned more than ten caps for their country, and 11 of them—including all three goalkeepers given that regular starter Alisson has already been ruled out—had never before stepped foot on the Selecao field.

After the most latest series of outcomes, the Gunners moved ahead of both City and Liverpool in the championship race over the weekend. Ederson and Martinelli are still doubts about the crucial Premier League match of their respective teams on March 31.

Martinelli left Arsenal’s last match against Sheffield United with a limp, having hurt his foot badly. Arsenal defeated Sheffield United 6-0. Ederson, nevertheless, may be out for up to four weeks after suffering an injury on Sunday at Anfield when pushing Liverpool attacker Darwin Nunez for a penalty.

On the other hand, the centre-back was expected to play at Wembley on Saturday against England, followed by Brazil’s match against Spain three days later.

Due to an injury, Gabriel was been forced to withdraw from the team. Arsenal will be hoping that the defender recovers in time for their match against Manchester City on March 31.
