Brazil have left in-form striker Gabriel Jesus (25) out of a 26-man squad for this month's friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia but Gleison Bremer (25) and Roger Ibanez (23) are included for the first time.

Coach Tite on Friday named his last squad before the World Cup in Qatar with players given their final chance to make the cut for the finals that kick off on November 20th.

"These are opportunities to have peace and a sense of justice further ahead (in the final list)," Tite told a news conference.

"I can't close the national team list now, and then another player may emerge (before the World Cup)."

Jesus' Arsenal team mates Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes also miss out along with Philippe Coutinho and Dani Alves, while Juventus' Bremer and AS Roma's Ibanez could get the chance to make their debuts in defence.

Brazil will play Ghana on September 23rd in Le Havre, France and Tunisia in Paris three days later. They are in Group G with Cameroon, Serbia and Switzerland at the World Cup.
