Thiago and Rayan receive first Brazil call-ups

Brentford striker Igor Thiago and Bournemouth winger Rayan have received first call-ups to the Brazil squad for their friendlies with France and Croatia later this month.

Thiago is the second-highest scorer in the Premier League season with 19, trailing only Manchester City's Erling Haaland with 22, with his goals powering Brentford to seventh place in the table.

The 24-year-old joined the West London side for a club-record fee of £30m in July 2024 from Club Brugge, but failed to score in his first season with the club as injury restricted him to eight appearances.
