First Dunga call for Liverpool fulback Aurelio

Liverpool fullback Fabio Aurelio has won a first call to Dunga's Brazil squad.

Aurelio has been named for the friendlies against England and Oman next month in a 24-man squad that includes his team-mate Lucas and another English-based player - Manchester City's Robinho.

Dunga, Brazil's World Cup-winning skipper in 1994, said: "He's a player who knows how to mark, he's accustomed to European football. We spoke to him some time back about a call-up but he was injured and we couldn't pick him. Now we're going to give him that chance."
