Dropped Liverpool star handed recall
PHILIPPE COUTINHO has won his place back in the Brazil squad.
Coutinho has 12 caps for Brazil so far
The 23-year-old is one of four Premier League stars to be included by Dunga with Manchester City’s Fernandinho and Chelsea forwards Willian and Oscar also taking their place in the group.
Upcoming games against Uruguay and Paraguay are crucial with Brazil sitting third in the South American group of qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
And Coutinho will be desperate to add to his 12 international caps having been dropped earlier in the season.
“The players have to seize their opportunities."
Brazil squad: Alisson, Diego Alves, Marcelo Grohe, Miranda, David Luiz, Gil, Marquinhos, Danilo, Daniel Alves, Filipe Luis, Alex Sandro, Luiz Gustavo, Fernandinho, Renato Augusto, Coutinho, Lucas Lima, Kaká, Willian, Oscar, Douglas Costa, Neymar, Hulk, Ricardo Oliveira
