For the first time in eight years, Shakhtar players received a call-up to the Brazilian national team. Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff have called up winger Alisson and midfielder Marlon Gomez for friendlies against Japan and Singapore in November. The last time the Donetsk players joined "Salsao" was in 2018: then the trio of Tyson, Ismaili and Fred got the call.
