Douglas Luiz has been named in the Brazil squad for the upcoming Olympics Games in Japan.

The midfielder, who is currently with his national team at the Copa America, will head to the Games next month.

Luiz and his compatriots are tasked with defending the gold medal Brazil won at the 2016 Olympics in their home country.

Brazil have been drawn in Group D alongside Germany, Ivory Coast and Saudi Arabia.

They start their tournament on 22 July in Yokohama and will hope to contest the final on 7 August.

Congratulations, Douglas!
