Those of a Real Madrid persuasion will no doubt have their attentions piqued by the latest word stemming from Brazil, regarding the country’s predicted line-up to face England.
Brazil will play out the first of two friendly fixtures as part of their ongoing preparations for the upcoming Copa América this Saturday.
The matchup in question will see the Seleção make the trip to Wembley, for a highly-anticipated showdown with Gareth Southgate’s England.
A whole host of headline names from across Europe’s top clubs are expected to play their part for the South Americans, in the first official fixture under the watch of head coach Dorival.
And yet, despite the raft of attacking options at the disposal of Brazil’s boss, the country’s starting frontline could well be made up solely of players currently on the books of Real Madrid.
As per a report from Brazilian outlet Itatiaia, Blancos pair Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior are nailed-on to feature from the off in London.
And, with Richarlison continuing to struggle for fitness, the current ‘favourite’ to join Rodrygo and Vinícius in a talent-packed trident is youngster Endrick.
Frontman Endrick is of course primed to link up with Carlo Ancelotti’s squad in Madrid this summer, as part of an agreement struck with Palmeiras all the way back in 2022.
Real’s supporters, though, could well be afforded an early glimpse into what awaits at the Santiago Bernabéu next season, this coming Saturday at Wembley.
