Dunga has recalled star striker Neymar after his suspension

Brazil managed Dunga has recalled star striker Neymar after his suspension came to an end. The Brazilian superstar missed the last four matches for his national team due to a ban that he picked up during the Copa America 2015.

It was a major factor in Brazil losing out on this competition, which was won by hosts Chile. Brazil will look forward to the erasing the memories of the recent disappointments in major tournaments as they prepare for the World Cup qualification. The national team was not involved in the qualification round of the previous tournament because of qualifying automatically.

Now, they will have to go through an extensive qualification phase that already sees the arrival of much improved minnows. Teams that were not previously expected to be in with a shout to qualify for the World Cup will be giving teams like Brazil and Argentina a tough time. In order to deal with such challenges, Dunga needs the best he can get for every game and Neymar is certainly one of them. The 23-year-old has walked straight back into the squad, which was recently named by the manager. Three players who have made it to the squad for the first time are Elias, Renato Augusto, and Cassio.

"When you play against Argentina it is always a war. It is all about the details. We know that each tackle and pass is decisive and we will have to be focused and at our very best to get a result. Argentina have quality players and they will get over not having a player like Messi. We are pleased to have Neymar back and that will boost our potential,” said Dunga. Brazil’s next match is against Argentina in a World Cup qualifying game. Brazil have already lost one game in the qualification stages.
