Arsenal duo Gabriel and Gabriel Jesus have been included the Brazil national team squad for the World Cup in Qatar this winter, it has been confirmed, but there is no space for defender Gabriel Magalhaes.
The trio were all thought to be in contention for a spot in Tite’s final 26-man squad, with all starring for the current Premier League leaders, but of the trio of Brazilians in the Arsenal side only Gabriel‘s Jesus and Martinelli have been named in a strong final selection.
Manchester United are the Premier League side with the most representatives, with four players (including Alex Telles out on loan at Sevilla) having been included. All of Antony, Casemiro and Fred will be lining out for the Selecao come the opening game of the tournament. Meanwhile, Liverpool duo Alisson and Fabinho have both also been included.
There are also spots for injury concern Richarlison, as well as West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta and Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes, in what looks to be the strongest World Cup squad on offer from the 32 teams.
