RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil left Neymar out of their squad for the November friendlies against Argentina and South Korea on Friday, but coach Tite called up uncapped Douglas Luiz of Aston Villa and Rodrygo of Real Madrid.

Neymar injured a hamstring in Brazil's 1-1 draw with Nigeria on Oct. 13 and is expected to be out for four weeks.
