Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho left out of Brazil squad, Neymar recalled

Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho is left out of Brazil's squad for the upcoming 2018 World Cup qualifiers, while Neymar is recalled following his four-match ban.

Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho has not been included in Dunga's latest Brazil squad, while Barcelona star Neymar has been recalled.

Coutinho was forced to withdraw from the last international break due to injury.

However, this time, Kaka, who plays for MLS side Orlando City, has been included in the squad for 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Peru next month.

Coutinho may have been snubbed, but Neymar has returned to the setup after missing the last four competitive fixtures due to a suspension.

Brazil will face Argentina in Buenos Aires on November 12 and Peru five days later in Salvador.

Brazil squad:

Goalkeepers: Alisson (Internacional), Jefferson(Botafogo), Cassio (Corinthians)

Defenders: Miranda (Internazionale), Marquinhos (PSG), David Luiz (PSG), Gil (Corinthians), Danilo (Real Madrid), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Filipe Luís (Atlético Madrid), Marcelo (Real Madrid)

Midfielders: Fernandinho (Manchester City), Elias (Corinthians), Renato Augusto (Corinthians), Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg), Oscar (Chelsea), Lucas Lima (Santos), Willian (Chelsea), Kaka (Orlando City), Douglas Costa (Bayern Munich)

Forwards: Neymar (Barcelona), Hulk (Zenit), Ricardo Oliveira (Santos)
