Arsenal defender, Gabriel Magalhaes, will miss Brazil’s upcoming friendlies against England and Spain.
Gabriel has left the national team camp with an injury.
The 26-year-old has been in fine form for the Gunners this season, forming a solid partnership with William Saliba, which has conceded the least goals in the Premier League.
Brazil head coach, Dorival Junior, confirmed his withdrawal but did not reveal the extent of the injury.
Junior told the media: “I had already communicated previously that we will work with a slightly more extensive list.
“A pre-call — we can put it that way — and again, today, we had another casualty. Unfortunately, Gabriel Magalhaes is out. In his place, we are calling Bremer, from Juventus.”
Gabriel will now miss two games for his country over the break; a clash against England at Wembley on Saturday, March 23, and Spain at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, March 26.
The 26-year-old has not been the only Arsenal player to withdraw from international duty this month, with Thomas Partey absent from the Ghana setup and Ben White snubbing England.
