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.
