FIFA World Cup: Manchester City forward Allan Elias was among five uncapped players named in Brazil's squad for friendlies against Japan and Singapore.
Other newcomers included in the 26-man squad were Cruzeiro defender Jonathan Jesus, Corinthians midfielder Andre Luiz and Shakhtar Donetsk pair Marlon Gomes and Alisson Santana.
"Each player has their own individual qualities," Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti told a news conference. "Jonathan Jesus strikes me as a very strong, very fast, aggressive, intelligent center-back. Marlon Gomes has a lot of dynamism. They are footballers with different characteristics, and for us, it is very important to get to know each one better."
