Coutinho, Miranda and Filipe Luis return to Brazil squad

On Tuesday, Brazil coach Dunga named his first squad since returning to the Selecao.

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.

Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho, Atletico Madrid's Miranda and Chelsea's Filipe Luis were all included after failing to make Luiz Felipe Scolari's World Cup squad.

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 eliminated by Germany in the World Cup semi-final last month.
