THIAGO SILVA, NEYMAR AWAIT OTHER TEAM MEMBERS TODAY
The other members of Cocah Tite’s 23-man Brazilian squad will arrive this Tuesday ahead of Brazil’s first match in Singapore since their 4-0 win over Japan in 2014.
A match with Nigeria’s Super Eagles is on the card on Sunday after the Brazilians must have taken on Senegal on Thursday.
The early Brazilian players had a 90-minute training session at
Kallang Football Hub on Monday afternoon.
Thiago Silva and Casemiro did not take part in training, and instead jogged around the pitch.
While it was largely a relaxed session, Brazil’s coaching staff worked individually with Marquinhos and fellow centre-back Eder Militao of Real Madrid on their long passing.
AC Milan midfielder Lucas Paqueta was put through his paces with movement and shooting drills.
Brazil’s opponents on Thursday, Senegal, will arrive this afternoon with a side featuring Liverpool’s Sadio Mane, Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli and PSG’s Idrissa Gueye.
