Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho has unsurprisingly been rewarded with a call-up for Brazil's friendly matches against France and Chile, while Real Madrid's Marcelo will be making his return to the squad for the first time under manager Dunga.
Santos' Robinho will also be returning to the squad, a surprise inclusion for the veteran forward. The full selection, as reported byGoal:
Goalkeepers: Jefferson (Botafogo), Marcelo Grohe (Gremio), Diego Alves (Valencia)
Defenders: David Luiz (Paris Saint-Germain), Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain), Thiago Silva (Paris Saint-Germain), Miranda (Atletico Madrid), Fabinho (Monaco), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Filipe Luis (Chelsea), Danilo (Porto).
Midfielders: Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg), Fernandinho (Manchester City), Elias (Corinthians), Souza (Sao Paulo), Oscar (Chelsea), Willian (Chelsea), Coutinho (Liverpool), Douglas Costa (Shakhtar Donetsk).
Forwards: Roberto Firmino (Hoffenheim), Neymar (Barcelona), Diego Tardelli (Shandong Luneng), Robinho (Santos).
The 22-year-old Coutinho only has five caps for Brazil under his belt and was not a member of the 2014 World Cup squad, but his recent form in England has caught the attention of manager Dunga.
