Arsenal defender Gabriel has withdrawn from Brazil's squad for the March international break with a knee injury.
The centre-back played the full 90 minutes of Sunday's Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City, but will not play for Carlo Ancelotti in this, the Selecao's last camp before the summer's World Cup.
A statement released by the Brazil national team read: "Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães is out of the friendlies against France and Croatia. After the match this Sunday (22) against Manchester City in the English League Cup final, the player complained of pain in his right knee.
"Imaging tests confirmed that Gabriel Magalhães is not fit for the matches in this FIFA international window. No other player will be called up to replace him."
