Overview
- Brazil held its first full-group session in Brisbane with late arrivals Otávio, Arthur Dias and Vanderson joining team training.
- Coaching staff ran on-field experiments and made in-practice switches, including Endrick replaced by Bontempo and Douglas Luiz taking Bruno Guimarães’ spot in a drill.
- Media reports say a probable lineup would include debutants Matheuzinho at right-back and Vitor Reis in central defense, but Ancelotti has not publicly confirmed a starting XI.
- Gabriel Magalhães was kept with the reserves because of heavy club minutes and Vanderson limited his work to warm-ups as part of workload management.
- The sessions are preparation for a short friendly program that has Brazil facing Australia twice in Brisbane before a match in Calcutta against India to begin the 2030 cycle.
