Leeds United winger Raphinha has been named in Tite's 25-man Brazil squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia.

Since making his international debut in October last year, the 25-year-old has starred for the Selecao, scoring three goals and providing two assists in seven appearances.

Raphinha has also impressed with Leeds this term, despite their precarious position at the wrong end of the Premier League table, netting nine times and registering two assists in 26 league games.

The skilful winger is one of seven attackers, along with Neymar, Richarlison, Antony, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Gabriel Martinelli, who have been called up to Tite's squad.

Brazil's first game against Chile will take place on March 24 at the Maracana Stadium, while their final qualifier will be held in La Paz where they will face Bolivia on March 30.

Raphinha will have three days to return back to the UK before Leeds welcome Southampton to Elland Road for their Premier League clash on April 2.

Brazil squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Alisson Becker (Liverpool), Ederson (Manchester City), Weverton (Palmeiras)

Defenders: Danilo (Juventus), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Alex Telles (Manchester United), Guilherme Arana (Atletico Mineiro), Thiago Silva (Chelsea), Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain), Eder Militao (Real Madrid), Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal)

Midfielders: Arthur (Juventus), Casemiro (Real Madrid), Fred (Manchester United), Fabinho (Liverpool), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United), Philippe Coutinho (Aston Villa), Lucas Paqueta (Lyon)

Attackers: Antony (Ajax), Raphinha (Leeds United), Richarlison (Everton), Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain), Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Vincuius Junior (Real Madrid), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal)
