World Cup 2018: 5 amazing players who did not make Brazil's 23-man squad

#3 Fabinho

Fabinho is probably the most surprising name to be left out by Tite. The right-back was the favourite to replace Dani Alves in Brazil’s starting XI but now is not even in the squad!

The AS Monaco star has had a brilliant season and certainly deserved to be on the plane to Russia this summer. He can also play as a midfielder and that would've been an added bonus to the squad.

Fagner and Danilo have been picked ahead of him and that hasn't gone down too well with the Brazil fans. Fagner is still recovering from a right thigh injury while Danilo has not played a lot this season.
