Inter Milan winger Carlos Augusto will make his debut in Brazil tonight, against Uruguay in the Seleçao’s World Cup qualifier.
This is reported by Brazilian media outlet Lance!, FCInterNews, which reports that Atletico Mineiro left-back Guillherme Arana will leave his place to the 24-year-old Nerazzurri player.
Augusto earned his first call-up to the Brazilian national team during the current break abroad.
This came after a good start to the season for the winger at Inter.
Augusto joined the Nerazzurri in the summer window. He arrives from Monza, replacing Robin Gosens on the left wing.
Augusto has been a regular starter for Inter in the first few weeks of the season.
It is Federico Dimarco who has a tendency to start Inter’s matches.
However, Augusto has already started twice for the Nerazzurri, who won the Champions League against Real Sociedad.
The Brazilian’s form is good. He has shown that he can bring power and quality in attack, as well as defensive solidity and reinforcement on the left side.
Despite being called up for the first time with Brazil at half-time, Augusto will step onto the pitch for the Seleção.
The Inter player was an unused substitute in Brazil’s 1-1 draw against Paraguay last week.
