Fernandinho,
Willian and Oscar complete the Premier League call-ups as the Brazilian teams
maintains a host
of familiar faces for the latest internationals
Philippe
Coutinho has been handed a call-up to the Brazil squad - but Liverpool
team-mate Roberto Firmino will not be joining him. Despite Firmino's sterling
record in front of goal in the Premier League of late, he has been overlooked
by head coach Dunga for the upcoming fixtures against Uruguay and Paraguay.
Coutinho
has scored twice and assisted a further two goals since his return from injury
for Liverpool in early February. He ensured that last weekend's Capital One Cup
final went to extra-time with his late strike against Manchester City at
Wembley. City themselves have one call-up into the Brazil team, with midfielder
Fernandinho being rewarded for his recent peformances
Chelsea
have had two call-ups, with Willian and Oscar both making the squad. Dunga has
also opted to include players from both the MLS and the Chinese Super League in
his team, showing that moves abroad might not be the end of their careers.
Kaka,
formerly of AC Milan and now captain of Orlando City, has been included. Brazil
regulars Neymar , Hulk, Dani Alves and David Luiz have also been handed a return
to the national team.
