Tite shuffles lineup for Cup qualifiers

Former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho was a surprise inclusion in a revamped Brazil lineup for World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Colombia next month, new coach Tite said on Monday.

Paulinho, who left Spurs for China's Guangzhou Evergrande last year, won the Copa Libertadores with Corinthians when Tite was in charge but has not played for Brazil since the 2014 World Cup.

Weverton, the uncapped goalkeeper whose penalty save helped Brazil win its first Olympic gold medal against Germany last Saturday, was also included, along with six other Olympians.
