 12:04pm, 8 September 2025
At 7:30 am on September 9, the final round of the World Cup qualifiers will be held at El Alto City Stadium.

ESPN said that Brazilian coach Ancelotti took advantage of this training opportunity to conduct tactical drills on the narrowing of the field, which conducted multiple rounds of lineup tests.

The reporter was only allowed to watch the warm-up session for 15 minutes. However, according to ESPN, Fabricio Bruno, Alessandro and Paqueta practiced with the main lineup throughout the whole process and are expected to start against Bolivia. Andre Santos will also replace Casemiro, who is suspended, into the starting lineup.

It is reported that there are still variables in the starting selection of Brazil's forward and wingers. Although the starters Wesley and Guimares began training as main players in the vest, they were soon replaced by Vitinho and Jean-Lucas. In terms of the

front line, Richarlison replaced Joao Pedro's position in the first game of this international match day. Louis Enrique and Lino, on both sides, made the start in training. Martinelli, Estewan and Rafinia then joined, rotating in more than 30 minutes of tactical drills.

The determination of the final starting lineup of the game will depend on the last training session on Monday morning, after which the whole team will set off for Bolivia.
