PERU: Brazil have called up Paris St Germain’s Lucas Beraldo to replace injured defender Gleison Bremer in World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Peru this month, the Brazilian FA (CBF) said. “Unfortunately, we received the news of a serious injury to the athlete Bremer, a person who deserves all our respect, consideration, affection and support so that he can return as soon as possible,” said the national team coach Dorival Jr. “In his place we are calling Beraldo from PSG. Meanwhile, Juventus centre-back Bremer will undergo surgery after suffering an ACL injury in Wednesday’s 3-2 win at RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Beraldo, 20, was a regular starter for Sao Paulo before PSG signed him on a five-year deal in January. He made his debut for Brazil in March. Brazil are fifth in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying with 10 points from eight matches, with the top six of the 10 teams qualifying directly. Beraldo only represented the Seleção three times but became a household name for PSG.
