Friday, 20 October 2017 - Tite announces his 25-man squad for Brazil's November matches against Japan in France and England at Wembley. Manchester City have four players, Ederson, Danilo, Fernandinho and Gabriel Jesus.  Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino also feature, as does Chelsea's Willian. The surprise inclusion is Juventus' Douglas Costa, who has had an indifferent start to life in Serie A. Flamengo's Diego and Sport's Diego Souza feature, as does Shakhtar Donetsk schemer Taison, who has been in and out of the squad over the last year. Cassio retains the third goalkeeper spot, while Monacos Jemerson makes the cut. Filipe Luis is still not chosen, so Juventus' Alex Sandro will get another chance to impress.

Wednesday, 8 November 2017 - Willian will become the fourteenth player to wear the Captain's armband under the current coach, Tite, leading a side with six changes when the Chevrolet Brasil Global Tour roles into Lille. Manchester City duo Danilo and Fernandinho, Monaco's Jemerson, PSG defender Thiago Silva and Fenerbahce midfielder Giuliano will also be handed rare opportunities to impress in the first-team. Coutinho was perhaps to be handed another chance in central midfield, but a thigh injury means Tite will have to wait until at least Tuesday's clash with England to once again try the Liverpool man in a deeper role. The six changes to Tite's preferred, settled XI mean first-team regulars Dani Alves, Marquinhos, Miranda, Paulinho, Renato Augusto and Coutinho will sit out in Lille. Roma's goalkeeper Alisson will return to the side after Ederson was handed a debut last month, but the latter may yet have another run out at Wembley. Tite had panned to field his strongest possible team against England, saving his experiments for the Japan game, but a flurry of injury drop-outs from the Three Lions squad this week may see him have a rethink. Diego Souza and Douglas Costa, desperate to impress and cement a role as permanent reserves ahead of the World Cup, will have to wait their chance, for now. Flamengo's Diego, meanwhile, has once again suffered injury problems but, after a scan yesterday at a Paris hospital, has remained with the squad so may yet see some action in London.
