Playing Style
A quick, energetic and offensive-minded defender on the left, Alex Sandro reads the game well and tackles hard. He is mainly a full-back but is comfortable as a wing-back too, able to cover anywhere along that flank. At 1.80 m and left-footed, he has put in 1,068 minutes this season for his club.
World Cup History
This will not be Alex Sandro's first senior World Cup. He was part of Brazil's squad in 2022, and Carlo Ancelotti has named him in the 26 once more for the 2026 finals. A seasoned left-sided defender, he travels as one of Ancelotti's confirmed names for the Brazil group stage.
