RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazil have added Arsenal defender Gabriel Paulista and winger Douglas Santos of Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro to the squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers this month against Argentina and Peru.
Brazil coach Dunga announced the moves on Friday, replacing two injured players -- defenders Marcelo of Real Madrid and Marquinhos of Paris Saint-Germain. Marcelo has a left-leg injury, and Marquinhos is out with an injured right thigh.
