RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 9 — Ronaldinho’s hopes of a place in Brazil’s World Cup squad faded today when he was not picked by coach Dunga for their last warm-up against Ireland in London next month.
The forward, who last played for Brazil in April 2009, has put in some good performances for AC Milan lately and expectations had been high of a recall.
“Every player has chances (of a place in the squad). At this moment he isn’t part of it,” Dunga told reporters at the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) headquarters after naming a 22-man squad.
