Arsenal duo Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli have been named in Brazil's squad for the Olympics.

Coach Andre Jardine has announced a 22-man squad for the Tokyo games after FIFA sanctioned an increase of the initial number of 18.

However, clubs can refuse to release their players for the Olympics as they're not considered to be part of the official football calendar, as a result of which Jardine has had to make some changes to his original selection.

Martinelli received a call up alongside Everton forward Richarlison and PAOK's Douglas Augusto after Flamengo, Marseille and Zenit St Petersburg refused to release Pedro, Gerson and Malcom respectively.
