Philippe Coutinho has been included in the latest Brazil squad for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Paraguay later this month.

The attacker has been in impressive form for Liverpool since returning from injury in February, scoring on his comeback at West Ham United and in the Capital One Cup final last Sunday.

Brazil host Uruguay on Friday March 25 before travelling to Paraguay four days later as they look to build on their two wins from four games in the preliminaries so far.

There is no place in the 23-man squad for Roberto Firmino, however, despite the forward having struck six times for the Reds already in 2016.
