    Dunga names 22-man squad for friendlies

    Chelsea trio Oscar, Willian and Ramires keep their places along with Manchester City's Fernandinho, but Atletico Madrid's Miranda returns after missing the World Cup
    Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho and Chelsea new boy Filipe Luis are among several players recalled to Dunga's first Brazil squad since returning to the Selecao.

    Blues trio Oscar, Willian and Ramires keep their places along with Manchester City star Fernandinho, but Atletico Madrid's Miranda is back in favour after missing out on Luiz Felipe Scolari's World Cup squad.

    The 22-man squad will meet Colombia in Miami on September 5 before taking on Ecuador in New Jersey four days later as the Gillette Brasil Global Tour resumes following a break after this year’s World Cup.

    Porto duo Danilo and Alex Sandro also returned to the international setup, as did Napoli's Rafael Cabral and Corinthians midfielder Elias.

    Cruzeiro duo Ricardo Goulart and Everton Ribeiro are in line to make their international bows after impressing as part of the side that romped to the Brasileirao title last year.

    Dunga found room for just 10 of the 23 that were humiliated by Germany in the World Cup semi-final last month.
