Ronaldinho has been included into Brazilian squad for England and Turkey friendlies.


FC Barcelona's Ronaldinho and AC Milan's Kaka have both been included in the Brazilian national team's line up for forthcoming friendlies with England on June 1 and Turkey on June 5.


The match against England, though a friendly, will serve as the official opener for the New Wembly stadium. Brazil will, after the England match, travel to Dortmund (Germany) to play Turkey in another friendly.


The pair, who had earlier requested to be left out of Brazil's Copa America squad citing reasons of need to recover after the long and stressful European league season, will anchor events for the Brazilian side in the two matches.


Speaking on his decision to include the two, Brazil's coach Dunga said:

I have to think about the best for the national team. They will be two games in which we won't have time to train, so I preferred to maintain the structure and call them, because I will have more time to train other players ahead of the Copa America.

Brazil's full squad for the matches against England and Turkey:


Helton (Porto), Doni (Roma); Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Sevilla), Gilberto (Hertha Berlin), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Juan (Bayer Leverkusen), Alex Silva (Sao Paulo), Alex (PSV), Naldo (Werder Bremen); Elano (Shakhtar Donetsk), Gilberto Silva (Arsenal), Edmilson (Barcelona), Josue (Sao Paulo), Mineiro (Hertha Berlin), Diego (Werder Bremen), Kaka (AC Milan), Ronaldinho (Barcelona); Robinho (Real Madrid), Jo, Vagner Love (both CSKA Moscow), Afonso Alves (Heerenveen).
