As Tite's team prepares for the World Cup, Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho were both left out of the Brazil squad for the forthcoming friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia on Friday.
On September 23, the five-time world champions take on Ghana in Le Havre, France, before taking on Tunisia at the Parc des Princes four days later.
Jesus, who has impressed this year after switching from Manchester City to Premier League-leading Arsenal, appeared 11 times for Brazil in World Cup qualifying without scoring.
With Steven Gerrard's struggling Aston Villa, Coutinho, who has scored 21 goals in 68 international games, has had a sluggish start to the season.
Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar is unsurprisingly in the squad and could play at his home club ground in the Tunisia game, alongside PSG teammate Marquinhos.
Brazil will start their bid for a sixth World Cup against Serbia on November 24 in Lusail, with further Group G games against Switzerland and Cameroon.
