A malfunction on the plane carrying Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton from Newcastle delayed the duo’s arrival to the Brazilian National Team in Seoul, which was supposed to happen this Tuesday (7).
According to ge, the plane transporting the pair had a problem with a window, which forced the flight to return to Amsterdam midway through the journey.
As a result, the midfielders traveled for about 12 hours between the outbound and return trips, and now the CBF is working to redo the athletes’ logistics.
The expectation is that they will arrive in South Korea only on Wednesday, the day of the next training session led by Carlo Ancelotti, scheduled for 4:00 PM (local time) at the Goyang Stadium.
The tendency is for Joelinton to go directly from Amsterdam, while Bruno Guimarães is expected to take a flight with a connection in another European country in an attempt to arrive earlier.
Bruno and Joelinton played last Sunday in Newcastle’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, a match in which Bruno scored a goal.
Igor Jesus and John, who also took part in the match, are already in Seoul and trained with the group this Tuesday, alongside 21 players.
At the end of the day, João Gomes and Caio Henrique arrived in Korea, leaving Ancelotti with 23 players available.
The delegation is still awaiting the arrival of Paulo Henrique from Vasco, expected this Wednesday (8).
Brazil faces South Korea next Friday (10) at 8:00 AM (Brasília time) at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
After the friendly, the team will travel to Tokyo, where they will face Japan on Tuesday (14) at 7:30 AM (Brasília time) at the Ajinomoto Stadium.
