Brazil stars including Gabriel Jesus and David Luiz train ahead of Argentina clash in Melbourne

Brazil are currently in Melbourne, Australia where they will face bitter South American rivals Argentina on Friday, and Tite's squad took to training pitch on Wednesday.

Tite has left out some of his big-name stars who had busy seasons, including Dani Alves of Juventus and Barcelona star Neymar, but there was still plenty of talent on show at the Lakeside Stadium.

David Luiz, Gabriel Jesus, Douglas Costa, Fernandinho, Filipe Luis and Thiago Silva were just some of the names involved in the practice session.

The 30-year-old Luiz has had a brilliant season at Chelsea, and now he is set to round it off with his first Brazil cap in over a year.
