Seleção coach Dunga has announced his roster for the upcoming CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Peru. The squad is almost the same as the one named for the friendly against Italy. The only changes were Miranda of Sao Paulo FC taking the place of injured Roma defender Juan and Kleber of SC Internacional of Porto Alegre replacing Sevilla's Adriano Correa. Ronaldinho & Kaka were among Dunga's choices despite each of them nursing leg injuries.
Once again, Amauri was ignored by Dunga and according to rumor the Juve hitman has decided on which national team he wants to play for. Surely, Dunga's decision to ignore him again should push him away from The Seleção and towards The Azzurri.
Brazil is currently in 2nd place in the CONMEBOL WCQ Standings with 16 points, 7 points behind first place Paraguay. Brazil faces Ecuador on March 29th in Quito and then hosts Peru on the 1st of April in Porto Alegre.
Here is the full roster:
Goalkeepers:
Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (AS Roma).
Defenders:
Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Kleber (Internacional), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Thiago Silva (AC Milan), Miranda (Sao Paulo), Luisao (Benfica).
