Coach Pia Sundhage called up the Brazilian women’s soccer team this Tuesday (1st) for two friendlies against Canada on the 11th and 15th of November, in the state of São Paulo. Among the novelties on the list is the right-back Bruninha, a former Santos player, currently at OL Reign (United States), who again has an opportunity in the team. Sundhage also called forward Debinha (North Carolina Courage-USA) and goalkeeper Lorena (Grêmio), both recovered from injury.
