In total, Marcelo were only being called five times by Dunga and totally miss out all of Brazil qualification matches last month.
With this, there were all added to four senior players what were not in the Brazil’s squad for the next coming Copa America, the other player added to the list was Neymar, the Selecao captain was not in the Copa America pre-elimination squad because he will be playing in the Olympic games in the coming summer.
