Arsenal youngster Gabriel Martinelli has been cleared to join up the Brazil national team.
The 20-year-old was forced to miss Saturday's win over Aston Villa after testing positive for Covid.
However, that hasn't prevented Martinelli from linking up with the Selecao for the first time.
Martinelli has shared an image of himself making the trip to South America, where he will be part of the set-up for two World Cup qualfiiers, with the caption "Dia inesquecível" ["unforgettable day"].

Brazil will host Chile on March 24, before an away game in Bolivia five days later.
It is a huge step in Martinelli's career and is just reward for his recent form in north London.
Tite's side have already qualified for the World Cup finals this year, allowing the coach to give players like Martinelli senior international experience.
