A malfunction in the plane carrying Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton, coming from Newcastle, delayed the duo's presentation to the Brazilian National Team in Seoul, which was supposed to be this Tuesday (7).
According to 'Globo Esporte', the plane transporting the pair had a problem with a window, which forced the flight to return to Amsterdam halfway through the journey.
As a result, the midfielders traveled approximately 12 hours back and forth, and the CBF is now working to reorganize the athletes' logistics.
They are expected to 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 Goyang Stadium.
Joelinton is expected to travel directly from Amsterdam, while Bruno Guimarães will take a flight with a connection in another European country to try to arrive earlier.
Bruno and Joelinton played last Sunday in Newcastle's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, a match in which Bruno scored a goal.
Igor Jesús and Juan, who also participated in the match, are already in Seoul and trained with the group this Tuesday, along with 21 players.
Finally, João Gomes and Caio Henrique arrived in Korea, leaving Ancelotti with 23 players at his disposal.
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 (Brasilia 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 (Brasilia time) at the Ajinomoto Stadium.
