This Wednesday (15), the Brazilian Men’s Team completed its preparations for the match against Colombia.

At Granja Comary, coach Fernando Diniz adjusted the last details in the team before the duel. The ball rolls on Thursday (16), at 9pm (Brasília time), at the Metropolitano stadium, in Barranquilla, Colombia, for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Fernando Diniz worked on game situations during activity. He also paid attention to set pieces, as well as finishing.

The group leaves for Colombia in the afternoon. Striker Gabriel Jesus will stay at Granja Comary, accompanied by physiotherapist Charles Costa, trainer Marquinhos and doctor Felipe Kalil to continue the recovery and physical conditioning process.

“It didn’t surprise anything. We respect the people who work with him. We have competent staff. My concern is with Gabriel. He was one of the players who managed to be positive and play well in Uruguay. I trust him. Being here is a reason for satisfaction. He said he is feeling good and doing some things. I talked to him and we took the risk of bringing him here. As soon as he arrived, he had an MRI. If he is fit, he will try to play against Argentina,” said Diniz.
