West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta was recalled to Brazil on Friday for the first time since the investigation into suspicious gambling began in August.
Brazil’s new manager Dorival Junior has named eight new players in his 26-man squad for this month’s friendlies against England and Spain.
Brazil will play England on March 23, followed by Spain three days later.
Paqueta’s off-season transfer to Manchester City fell through due to gambling allegations against him. He has not been charged by the English Football Association and continues to play for West Ham.
