There was no place in Ramon Menezes' Brazil squad for Bruno Guimaraes despite a stellar season with Newcastle United. The Toon midfielder was part of the Tite's Selecao squad for the World Cup in Qatar but has been dropped from international duty.
He's among a number of big names left out of the squad to face Morocco later this month, with Neymar, Alisson and Fabinho among those left out. Menezes, who is in caretaker charge of the nation while they look for Tite's replacement, has handed nine players the opportunity to wear the yellow green and blue for the first time.
Despite handing a number of players an opportunity to impress, one player who's been overlooked again is Joelinton. The midfield enforcer has been among the standout performers for Eddie Howe's side since dropping into a deeper role.
