Eder Militao joins Brazil squad

Eder Militao has been drafted into the Brazil squad for this month’s Brasil Global Tour doulble-header in USA.

The Porto star earns his first ever senior international call-up after replacing Corinthians right-back Fagner, who was forced to withdraw through injury.

The Selecao meet USA in New Jersey on September 7 before facing El Salvador in Washington on September 11.

Fanger is the third player to drop out of Tite’s original 24-man squad.

Fluminense striker Pedro picked up an injury and was replaced by Everton’s Richarlison last week, while midfielder Renato Augusto requested to be cut for personal reasons and, with only 23 players eligible for each matchday squad, was not replaced.
