Brazil stars Ronaldinho and Kaka could be set to appear for Brazil in the first full international at the new Wembley Stadium after being named in a provisional 22-man squad.
Coach Dunga has picked a strong line-up ahead of the June 1st friendly, which will be the official curtain-raiser for the England team returning to the national stadium.
Alongside AC Milan playmaker Kaka, who is set to line-up opposite Steven Gerrard's Liverpool in the Champions League final next week, Dunga has named Barcelona wizard Ronaldinho, Real Madrid forward Robinho and Arsenal's stand-in captain Gilberto Silva.
Roma goalkeeper Alex Doni, who yesterday helped his club to win the Coppa Italia for the first time in 16 years, is also named with Milan keeper Dida ruled out.
And PSV defender Alex, who is being linked with a possible move to parent club Chelsea this summer, is also part of the squad - which will help his quest for a work permit in the UK in order to join the Stamford Bridge outfit.
Werder Bremen star Naldo, Robinho's Madrid team-mate Marcelo and CSKA Moscow pairing Vagner Love and Jo are also included.
Full Brazil squad for England friendly:
Doni (AS Roma), Helton (Porto), Daniel Alves (Sevilla), Maicon (Inter Milan), Gilberto (Hertha Berlin), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Juan (Bayer Leverkeusen), Alex (PSV), Alex Silva (Sao Paulo), Naldo (Werder Bremen), Gilberto Silva (Arsenal), Edmilson (Barcelona), Josue (Sao Paulo), Mineiro (Hertha Berlin), Elano (Shaktar Donetsk), Diego (Werder Bremen), Kaka (AC Milan), Ronaldinho (Barcelona), Robinho (Real Madrid), Vagner Love, Jo (both CSKA Moscow), Alfonso Alves (Herenveen).
