Gabriel thrilled with call-up

Cape Town - Arsenal defender Gabriel says it is "a dream" to have received his first Brazil call up.

The central defender was a late addition to Dunga's squad for next Sunday's friendly against Chile after Paris Saint-Germain pair David Luiz and Marquinhos suffered injuries.

Gabriel will be made more comfortable by the fact that Brazil play the match at the Gunners' homeground and the defender feels his game will benefit from spending time with the 'Selecao'.
