Brazil recall Ronaldinho for Italy game

The 28-year-old struggled to cement a regular place in Dunga's roster throughout 2008, having been overlooked in more than one occasion by the Selecao boss.

But Ronnie's recent form with Milan finally paid off as he makes the squad for the first time since September.

Inter Milan striker Adriano, who also started to regain his lost form of late, was selected by Dunga as well.

Brazil and Italy will meet at Emirates Stadium on February 10th in a rehearsal for next summer's FIFA Confederations Cup showdown, where Egypt and USA compete with the former World Cup winners.
