The FC Porto winger has dual citizenship and was called up to Brazil; Roberto Martinez announces Portugal's list on Friday. A similar case happened to Mateus Nunes
Dorival Junior has called up FC Porto player Anderson Galeño for Brazil's friendlies against Spain and England, and in this way, he will be able to “divert” the winger from the path of the Portuguese national team.
The Porto winger joins his teammate Wendell in an unprecedented call-up; He was called up to replace injured Arsenal player Gabriel Martinelli
Galeño has been in all of Roberto Martinez's call-ups since he was national team coach, but has never featured in the final roster, something that could happen when the Spaniard announces his call-up for the friendlies against Sweden and Slovenia, on 21 March and March. twenty-sixth. The list will be announced on Friday, and if Roberto Martinez calls him, Galeño will have to choose which country he wants to represent. Last October, the coach revealed that he had spoken with Sergio Conceicao about the winger, considering that he could be very useful for Portugal.
A similar situation occurred with Mateus Nunes, who was called up in August 2021 by Tite to the Brazilian national team but refused the call-up, preferring to represent Portugal. If he accepts a call-up to Brazil but is not used by Dorival Junior, Galeño will still be eligible to play for the Portuguese national team.
From what A BOLA has found, Galeño will wait for Portugal's call-up to see if he is among the candidates chosen by Roberto Martinez or not, and then make a decision.
