Coutinho, kaka and alex sandro named in brazil squad

Philippe Coutinho, Kaka and Alex Sandro are in Brazi's squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Paraguay. Liverpool playmaker Coutinho is yet to make an appearance in

the qualifying campaign, but has been brought back into the fold by head coach Dunga.  Orlando City veteran Kaka has also been called-up despite only playing 15 minutes so far in

qualification, while Juventus' Alex Sandro - who last played international football in August 2012 - is also selected in the 23-man squad. You may like Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves

replaces Jefferson, while defender Gil and midfielder Renato Augusto are picked despite making recent moves to China. There is still no place for former captain Thiago Silva, while

Coutinho's club-mate Roberto Firmino and Benfica forward Jonas - scorer of 28 goals this season - were among the other players to miss out. Brazil have seven points from their opening

four matches in qualifying, putting them third in the standings. They host Uruguay in Recife on March 26, before visiting Paraguay four days later. The best features, fun and footballing
