Chelsea midfielder Ramires has earned a re-call to the Brazil squad for their friendly against Sweden on August 15.

Goalkeepers: Renan Ribeiro, Neto, Gabriel

Defenders: Danilo, Daniel Alves, Rafael, Alex Sandro, Thiago Silva, Juan, Bruno Uvini, David Luiz, Dede

Midfielders: Sandro, Romulo, Paulo Henrique Ganso, Oscar, Lucas, Ramires (Chelsea) Paulinho
