Gabriel Jesus receives shock Brazil selection snub as Tottenham and Man Utd stars are preferred

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has not been included in Brazil's squad for their upcoming friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia. Despite directly contributing to six goals in his first five games in a Gunners shirt, the forward has not been called up for his country.

Jesus was included in Brazil's squad for their last set of international fixtures. The 25-year-old featured in friendlies against South Korea and Japan and his absence from Tite's 26-man squad comes as a surprise.

Liverpool's Roberto Firmino, new Manchester United forward Antony, and Richarlison of Tottenham Hotspur have all made the squad over Jesus. Like the Arsenal star, Firmino has directly contributed to six goals this season - although five of those came in Liverpool's 9-0 win over AFC Bournemouth last month.
