Flamengo has six players on the preliminary list for Carlo Ancelotti's first call-up.

According to ge, Pedro, Gerson, Alexsandro, Danilo, Wesley, and Léo Ortiz are part of the initial list made by the new Brazilian national team coach.

The information was revealed by the website on Saturday (17), when the CBF sent out notifications, requesting the release of all clubs involved in the call-up.

The final list, with 23 names, will be announced by the Italian himself on the 26th, during his presentation in Rio de Janeiro.

The coach's first challenges at the helm of Brazil will be against Ecuador on June 5th in Guayaquil, and Paraguay on the 10th at the Arena Corinthians in São Paulo.

To meet a FIFA requirement, the CBF must notify the clubs of the called-up players 15 days before the presentation, which will take place on the 2nd.

That's why the notification was made on Saturday afternoon.

Carlo Ancelotti defined the preliminary list in meetings with the director of selections, Rodrigo Caetano, and the technical coordinator, Juan, during the week in Madrid.

The preliminary list has around 50 names and will be reduced to 23 players, who will be announced by the coach during his presentation.

The CBF made the initial list of 52 players public in March, but this time will keep it secret, according to ge.
