Arsenal pair Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli have been named in Brazil’s Olympics squad.
Coach Andre Jardine has announced a 22-man squad for the Tokyo games after FIFA sanctioned an increase of the initial number of 18.
However, clubs can refuse to release their players for the Olympics as they’re not considered to be part of the official football calendar, as a result of which Jardine has had to make some changes to his original selection.
Martinelli received a call up alongside Everton forward Richarlison and PAOK’s Douglas Augusto after Flamengo, Marseille and Zenit St Petersburg refused to release Pedro, Gerson and Malcom respectively.
Borussia Dortmund’s young midfielder Reinier, on loan from Real Madrid has also been included in the squad after initially missing out.
