The two Flamengo attackers have been pré-convocados by Ancelotti for the upcoming Seleção matches. This means they have a chance of being called up for the games against Austrália and Índia. The pré-lista is a significant step in the selection process for the Seleção.

Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Ancelotti is prioritizing younger players and those he knows less, which explains the absence of experienced players like Léo Pereira and Lucas Paquetá from the pré-lista. The Seleção will announce the final convocação on the next quarta-feira at the CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.
