Joelinton's brilliant form at Newcastle has launched him into contention for a first Brazil cap.
The popular 26-year-old has enjoyed a new lease of life under Eddie Howe, who has converted him from a centre-forward into an all-action midfielder.
He has scored four goals and been integral to a campaign in which Newcastle are challenging for the top four and in the Carabao Cup final, their first final this century.
Joelinton has never been called up to the senior Brazil squad. Tite was aware of his progress before the World Cup but the selection for Qatar came too soon for him.
