Brazil call up uncapped defender Pedro Geromel
Defender Pedro Geromel.
Rio de Janeiro - Arab Today
Uncapped Gremio center-back Pedro Geromel has been called up to Brazil's squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Colombia next month.
The 30-year-old replaces Rodrigo Caio, who has been ruled out with a groin injury, the Brazilian football confederation said on Saturday.
Geromel has been one of the most consistent central defenders in Brazil's Serie A championship since his 2014 move from Spanish club Malaga.
His career has also included a six-year spell at FC Koln in Germany.
Brazil will play Ecuador in Quito on September 1 followed by a clash with Colombia in Manaus five days later.
The Selecao are currently sixth in the South American zone qualifying standings for 2018 World Cup in Russia. The top four teams will book a direct berth in the tournament while the fifth-ranked side will earn a playoff spot.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
