Liverpool trio Roberto Firmino, Alisson Becker and Fabinho have all been called up to the Brazil squad for the upcoming international break at the end of September.
The Liverpool forward hasn't played for his country since July 2021 and time is running out with the World Cup in Qatar looming. But after three goals in quick succession for the Reds this season, Firmino has won back his place in the national squad.
Brazil will play two friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia on September 23 and 27. Both matches will be played in France, making it easier for the European-based players to travel.

Firmino recently spoke of how he was "anxious" to discover whether he would be playing for his country with his last cap coming over a year ago, but his wait is now over.
Firmino, who has three goals and three assists so far this season, has been selected in a talented group of forwards alongside the likes of Neymar, Vinicius Jr, Raphinha, Richarlison, Antony, Rodrygo and Matheus Cunha for the two friendlies.
