Liverpool duo named in Brazil’s World Cup qualifying squad as Real Madrid

Dunga recalled Lucas Moura to the squad in world cup qualifiers against Chile and Venezuela, and he is happy with his progress.

Meanwhile, former Ballon d’Or victor Kaká was left out of the squad after Dunga called him and other players out for inviting a minister to Brazil’s hotel; and Neymar is still serving the suspension for his expulsion in Copa América in July this year.

Brazil’s soccer coach Dunga smiles during a press conference where he announced his players who will play in World Cup 2018 qualifying matches, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Thursday, September 17, 2015. “We need to get behind the players we have”.

At least 10 players participated in the services, which were promoted by Kaka and David Luiz and officiated by Brazilian pastor Guilherme Batista following Brazil’s 4-1 friendly win over the United States.

Renato Augusto, one of the stars of Corinthians’ rise to the top of Brazil’s Serie A, is included for the first time since 2011, and centre half Gil returns after missing the Copa America.

Dunga’s men will begin their campaign on October 9 with an away game against Copa America winners Chile before taking on Venezuela in Fortaleza five days later.
