Brazil give Richarlison debut call-up for U.S. friendly game

Brazil have given Everton forward Richarlison a debut call-up to their squad for two exhibition games in the United States in September.

The 21-year-old will replace Fluminense's Pedro, who twisted his right knee in his team's 2-1 defeat at Cruzeiro on Sunday.

Neymar and Philippe Coutinho are included in a strong Brazil squad, with Manchester United's Andreas Pereira among the new names announced.

Richarlison moved from Watford in July in a five-year deal that could reportedly be worth more than £50 million. He was sent off on Saturday in Everton's 2-2 draw at Bournemouth after trying to head butt an opponent.
