RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil coach Tite named uncapped Gremio midfielder Arthur on Friday in his squad for the final two World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Chile next month. Flamengo midfielder Diego earned a surprise recall as did 32-year old Diego Tardelli, who plays up front for Chinese club Shandong Luneng. "He (Arthur) is just a lad playing naturally and he has a very high level of concentration," Tite said of the little-known 21-year old. Tite also recalled Shakhtar midfielder Fred and Manchester City right back Danilo, who has played 15 times for Brazil but never in a competitive match. The five-times World Cup winners have qualified for Russia and the two games are their last competitive matches before the tournament.
