The brother of Juventus striker Paulo Dybala has blasted his axing by Argentina.

Dybala was not included in Argentina's squad for their friendlies against Italy and Spain, with Coach Jorge Sampaoli suggesting the 24-year-old's face did not fit.

That prompted Gustavo to tweet in response: “How hurtful, this national team was built by executives and journalists!"

The post was soon pulled down - but not before being captured by media outlets.
