Anderson call up for the Olympics
-
MANCHESTER UNITED ace Anderson will miss the start of the season to play in the Olympics. The £17million midfielder has been called up by Brazil boss Dunga for the Beijing games which starts next month.
Liverpool star Lucas and Manchester City's new record signing Jo are also in the squad. All three have been named as regular under-23 players meaning their clubs cannot refuse to release them.
AC Milan have already blocked Brazil's bid to call-up Kaka as one of their three over-age players. But outgoing Barcelona forward Ronaldinho and Real Madrid's Robinho are included.
Brazil's Olympics squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Diego Alves (Almeria), Renan (Internacional)
Defenders: Marcelo (Real Madrid), Ilsinho (Shakhtar Donetsk), Rafinha (Schalke 04), Thiago Silva (Fluminense), Alex Silva (Sao Paulo), Breno (Bayern Munich)
Midfielders: Lucas (Liverpool), Anderson (Manchester United), Hernanes (Sao Paulo), Ronaldinho (Barcelona), Diego (Werder Bremen), Thiago Neves (Fluminense)
Forwards: Robinho (Real Madrid), Alexandre Pato (AC Milan), Rafael Sobis (Real Betis), Jo (Manchester City)
