Right-back Rodinei, formerly of Flamengo, could be one of the surprises in the Brazilian team's squad for the Copa América, which will be announced this Friday (10). According to information released by "UOL", the technical committee led by Dorival Júnior sought out the player during a trip to Europe in recent weeks.
During his stay on the European continent, Rodinei met with assistant Lucas Silvestre and analyst Pedro Sotero on May 1st. The following day, both watched the 4-2 victory of Olympiacos-GRE, Rodinei's team, over Aston Villa-ING, in the Conference League semi-final, in Birmingham, England.
In addition to the conversation with Rodinei, the Members of the technical committee also met with Raphinha and Vitor Roque, from Barcelona. Coach Dorival Júnior and technical manager Juan were also in Europe for observations, although they did not directly participate in these meetings.

The full-back suffered a muscle injury in his left calf and the organization already knows whether or not he will be able to count on the Mengão player at the FIFA Date.
