Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has been cleared to join up with the Brazil national squad despite missing the Gunners' weekend victory over Aston Villa.
Martinelli was one of two late omissions from the squad which won 1-0 at Villa Park, with Aaron Ramsdale the other. However, while Ramsdale has pulled out of the England squad with a hip problem, Martinelli's positive Covid test hasn't prevented him linking up with Tite's squad.
The 20-year-old has shared an image of himself making the trip to South America, where he will be part of the set-up for two World Cup qualfiiers, with the caption "Dia inesquecível" ["unforgettable day"]. Brazil will host Chile on March 24, before an away game in Bolivia five days later, and it's just the latest step forward for a young talent who has proved himself to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after a spell away from the first team.
