Duo report for duty, Brazil hold first training session for FIFA break

Duo report for duty, Brazil hold first training session for FIFA break Brazil's national team squad is nearly complete for the final international window of the season. On Monday (9), forwards Vini Jr and Endrick arrived in Singapore, where they received a warm welcome from local fans. The players returned the affection by signing autographs and posing for photos before heading to the opening training activities led by coach Carlo Ancelotti. Vini Jr joined the squad after fulfilling commercial commitments for Real Madrid in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Suspended for the 3-0 win over Valencia, the forward traveled directly to Asia from Greece, where he had faced AEK in the Champions League. With both forwards available, Ancelotti led the first training session in Singapore, though the group was still limited to 12 players. Players who featured for their clubs over the weekend, including Bruno Guimarães, Gabriel Magalhães, Jair and Wesley, were rested and only did recovery work. With the squad still incomplete, the Italian coach focused on finishing drills and small-sided games. All of Brazil's preparations are taking place at Jalan Besar Stadium, which will also host the two friendlies that round out the national team's 2026 schedule. Brazil will face Japan next Saturday (14) at 7:15 a.m. Brasília time, before closing out the international window against hosts Singapore on Tuesday (17) at 7 a.m. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
