David Luiz's Brazil exile continues as Casemiro returns

The Blues centre-back has again been left out of the squad as the Conmebol leaders gear up for two qualifiers later in the month

Brazil coach Tite has once more left Chelsea defender David Luiz out of his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Paraguay.

The centre-back has not featured for the Selecao since the 2-2 draw with Uruguay in March 2016, with Tite ignoring him ever since taking charge in June last year.

David Luiz has been in sublime form for Chelsea this campaign to help his team to the top of the Premier League table, but it has not been enough to earn a recall to the national team.
