Marcelo, Philippe Coutinho amongst four drafted in for Brazil friendlies

Brazil national head coach Dunga adds four players to his squad his side's friendlies against Costa Rica and the United States next month.

Real Madrid left-back Marcelo is one of four players to be called up to the Brazil squad for next month's friendlies against Costa Rica and the United States.

Brazil national coach Dunga did not originally include Marcelo in his latest squad, but an injury to Atletico Madrid's Filipe Luis has seen the 27-year-old drafted in.

Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho, Bayern Munich's Rafinha and Barcelona's Rafinha Alcantara have also been called up to the Canarinho squad in place of Dani Alves, Oscar and Ramires.

The 2014 World Cup semi-finalists play Costa Rica on September 5, and the USA three days later on September 8.
