Untried pair handed Brazil call
Brazil coach Dunga has named uncapped duo Hulk and Carlos Eduardo in his squad for next month's friendly against England in Doha.
Porto striker Hulk and Hoffenheim winger Carlos Eduardo join more established attacking talent like Kaka and Luis Fabiano in the 24-man party.
Aurelio, who will be looking to win his first senior cap in the middle easy, is one of two Liverpool players in the squad, which is solely European-based, with midfielder Lucas the other.
Manchester City's Robinho has also been included, while Lyon full-back Michel Bastos has been handed his first call-up.
AC Milan duo Ronaldinho and Alexandre Pato and Juventus' Diego have been left out, however.
The five-time World Cup winners take on Fabio Capello's men on November 14 and Oman three days later.
Brazil squad:
Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (Roma); Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Luisao (Benfica), Lucio (Inter Milan), Juan (Roma), Naldo (Werder Bremen), Fabio Aurelio (Liverpool), Michel Bastos (Lyon); Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Josue (Wolfsburg), Lucas (Liverpool), Felipe Mello (Juventus), Alex (Spartak Moscow), Julio Baptista (Roma), Ramires (Benfica), Elano (Galatasaray), Kaka (Real Madrid); Carlos Eduardo (Hoffenheim); Robinho (Manchester City); Luis Fabiano (Sevilla); Nilmar (Villarreal); Hulk (Porto)
