Dunga has only selected Europe-based players for the match at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on February 10.

Uncapped Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo is the surprise name in the squad while there is no place for Juventus forward Amauri, who was tipped for a call-up as he has also considered playing for Italy.

The 22-man party includes four AC Milan players and three from city rivals Inter.

Brazil squad: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (Roma); Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Adriano Correia (Sevilla), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Juan (Roma), Thiago Silva (Milan), Luisao (Benfica); Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Josue (Wolfsburg), Anderson (Manchester United), Felipe Melo (Fiorentina), Elano (Manchester City), Julio Baptista (Roma), Kaka (Milan); Ronaldinho (Milan), Robinho (Manchester City), Alexandre Pato (Milan), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Adriano (Inter Milan).
