AC Milan midfielder Ronaldinho is back on Brazil’s national team after missing three consecutive matches.



Ronaldinho was among 22 players picked by coach Dunga for the February 10 friendly against Italy at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium in London.



Milan teammates Kaka and Alexandre Pato also were included in the roster as were Inter Milan’s Adriano and Manchester City’s Robinho.



The biggest surprise on Dunga’s squad was Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo, who is earning his first call for the national team.
