RIO DE JANEIRO: Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has named uncapped left-back Luciano Juba in his squad with Neymar Jr. missing out on the squad for friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia.

Al-Ittihad’s defensive midfielder Fabinho and Palmeiras forward Vitor Roque were also recalled for the fixtures in England and France later this month.

Juba, 26, who is also able to play in central midfield, was rewarded for a series of impressive performances for Bahia in Brazil’s Serie A this season.
