Arsenal defender Gabriel withdraws from Brazil squad

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has withdrawn from the Brazil squad.

The defender has pulled out with an unspecified injury.

“I had already communicated previously that we will work with a slightly more extensive list," Brazil coach Dorival Junior explained.

“A pre-call — we can put it that way — and again, today, we had another casualty.

“Unfortunately, Gabriel Magalhães is uncalled. In his place, we are calling Bremer, from Juventus."

Gabriel, 26, has made six appearances for Brazil since making his senior debut last year.
