Brazil coach Dunga has named his 22-man squad for the upcoming friendly clashes with Argentina and Japan in October. The five-time world champions travel to Beijing on October 11 to face the World Cup finalists before heading to Singapore to meet Japan on October 14. There will be only two new faces for October's friendlies, with Inter's Dodo and CSKA's Mario Fernandes replacing Real Madrid's Marcelo and Roma's Maicon joining six Premier League-based players. Chelsea new-boy Filipe Luis joins domestic team-mates, Ramires, Willian and Oscar, with Manchester City's Fernandinho and Liverpool's Coutinho also called up. Tottenham midfielder Paulinho misses out. It was also confirmed that former international Edu Bala would succeed Mauro Silva as temporary assistant coach. Dunga's second spell as Brazil coach began earlier this month with 1-0 victories over both Colombia and Ecuador. His first squad since returning as coach featured just 10 of the 23 that Luiz Felipe Scolari took to a World Cup semi-final defeat in July. Full squad Goalkeepers: Jefferson (Botafogo), Rafael Cabral (Napoli). Defenders: David Luiz (Paris Saint-Germain), Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain), Gil (Corinthians), Miranda (Atletico Madrid), Dodo (Internacional), Filipe Luis (Chelsea), Mario Fernandes (CSKA), Danilo (FC Porto). Midfielders: Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg), Elias (Corinthians), Fernandinho (Manchester City), Ramires (Chelsea), Willian (Chelsea), Everton Ribeiro (Cruzeiro), Oscar (Chelsea), Coutinho (Liverpool). Forwards: Ricardo Goulart (Cruzeiro), Robinho (Santos), Neymar (Barcelona), Diego Tardelli (Atletico MG).
