Juventus winger Douglas Costa has been left out of the Brazil squad, partly due to spitting at Federico Di Francesco of Sassuolo.
The 28-year-old has been given a four game Serie A ban for his actions last weekend, and may be out anyway after being injured in the win over Valencia.
“As I’ve said on other occasions, there will be a chance for those who were out,” Tite said at the Press conference to announce his squad.

“As I’ve said on other occasions, there will be a chance for those who were out,” Tite said at the Press conference to announce his squad.
“With specific regard to Douglas Costa, he won’t be called for two reasons: the injury, and the incident which happened in the league.
“It was an act which showed a lack of discipline.”
Douglas Costa's Juventus teammate Alex Sandro has been called-up, as has Miranda of Inter.
Brazil will play Saudi Arabia and Argentina next month.
