Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus has been recalled by Brazil for friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Argentina in October.

Coach Tite announced his squad on Friday, with three new faces: Bordeaux defender Pablo, Hannover midfielder Wallace, and Barcelona striker Malcom.

He also brought in under-21 goalkeeper Phelipe to give him international experience. The friendlies will be in Saudi Arabia on October 12 and 16.

Jesus didn't score in Brazil's six-game campaign at the World Cup until the quarter final against Belgium.

He wasn't included in Tite's first squad after Brazil's campaign in Russia, for friendly victories against the United States and El Salvador.

21-year-old Jesus has scored once for Man City in five appearances this season.

Tite also said Juventus winger Douglas Costa was not chosen after he was suspended on Wednesday for four matches in Italy after spitting on Sassuolo midfielder Eusebio Di Francesco.

Brazil will gather for the upcoming friendlies on October 8 in London.
