Liverpool full-back Fabio Aurelio has been recalled to the Brazil squad by national coach Dunga.

The South Americans are set to face England and Oman in a friendly double-header in November.

With those games set to take place in the Middle East, Dunga has named a 24-man travelling party made up entirely of European-based players so as not to disrupt the run-in to the Brazilian championship.

As a result, Porto striker Hulk, Hoffenheim forward Carlos Eduardo and Lyon full-back Michel Bastos are called upon for the first time.

Liverpool ace Aurelio will be hoping to earn his first senior cap, while Manchester City playmaker Robinho is also included despite missing his country's last two World Cup qualifiers through injury.

Brazil squad in full for friendlies against England and Oman on 14th and 17th November:

Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (Roma)

Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Fabio Aurelio (Liverpool), Michel Bastos (Lyon), Lucio (Inter Milan), Luisao (Benfica), Juan (Roma), Naldo (Werder Bremen)

Midfielders: Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Elano (Galatasaray), Julio Baptista (Roma), Felipe Melo (Juventus), Josue (Wolfsburg), Lucas (Liverpool), Ramires (Benfica), Alex (CSKA Moscow), Kaka (Real Madrid)

Forwards: Robinho (Manchester City), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Nilmar (Villarreal), Hulk (Porto), Carlos Eduardo (Hoffenheim)
