Savio was chosen for the Brazil u-20 team that will play in the CONMEBAL South American youth tourney in a coupla weeks. Think its the same tourney Max Perrone will play in repping Argentina.
edit: just saw this comment at reddit, fwiw:
The list was updated. Originally, Endrick, Giovani, Angelo, Marcos Leonardo, Matheus França, Victor Hugo, Beraldo and Matheus Martins were called up, but weren't released by their clubs.
New players in the squad are André (Bahia), Michel (Palmeiras), Alexsander (Fluminense), Guilherme Biro (Corinthians), Stênio (Cruzeiro), Pedro (Corinthians), Giovane (Corinthians), Renan Viana (Athletico-PR) and Luis Guilherme (Palmeiras).
Pedro and Luis Guilherme are 16, both could still be playing for the U17 squad.
As far as I can tell Savio has not made the squad so far in the SA U20 tourney thru 4 group stage matches. He did post a pic of himself in uniform, tho. Brazil fans on twitter seem baffled by his absence, a muscle injury was mildy claimed early on. Maybe he'll be available for the knockout stages.
Savio has been training with the Brasil u20 in prep for the WC in Arg starting this Saturday. Even found a pic of him in action from a friendly a few days ago. Just another name to look out for in the upcoming tourney.
Brasil played their last friendly this afternoon, won 6-0. Found the highlights. Savio appears to be #20, gets the assist for the 3rd goal and 'draws' the pen for the 4th. suggest muting it, ha
