Neymar, Douglas Costa included in Brazil Olympic squad

Neymar, Douglas Costa, Rafinha and Marquinhos are all included in a strong Brazil squad for this summer's Olympic Games in Rio.

Neymar and Douglas Costa have both been selected in Brazil's squad for this summer's home Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Barcelona winger Neymar was left out of Brazil's squad for the recent Copa America after the Spanish giants requested that he only be used for one of the tournaments, with the nation deciding upon the Olympics.

Bayern Munich's Douglas Costa was included in the Copa America squad, but also gets the nod for the Games as Brazil go in search of their first ever Olympic gold medal in football.

Costa is one of six players to have been named in both squads, including Barcelona's Rafinha and Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos.

Rodrigo Caio, Douglas Santos and Gabriel Barbosa are the other players to have also represented their country at this year's Copa America, where Brazil failed to make it out of the group stages.

Brazil Olympic squad:

Goalkeepers: Fernando Prass, Wilson

Defenders: Luan, Rodrigo Caio, Marquinhos, Douglas Santos, Zeca, William

Midfielders: Rafinha, Rodrigo Dourado, Fred, Thiago Maia, Felipe Anderson

Forwards: Neymar, Douglas Costa, Gabriel Barbosa, Gabriel Jesus, Luan
