Brazil have announced their squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. There is no room for either Juventus left-back and Manchester United target Alex Sandro, or injured Chelsea centre-half David Luiz, with Selecao boss Tite having instead opted for Filipe Luis and Pedro Geromel respectively. Dani Alves, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, is out due to injury while questions have been raised over the inclusion of Neymar, who has not played a game since undergoing ankle surgery in February (Video credit: Perform).
