Ronaldinho, absent again

Brazil's coach Dunga unveiled the squad for the friendly against Estonia, which will be played on August 12 in Talin ahead of Games 15 and 16 of the South American qualifiers to be held in September.

The 22-player list counts on Atletico Mineiro's Diego Tardelli, who has been surprisingly called up instead of Milan's forward Alexander Pato.

Ronaldinho was left out once again, as it occurred in the past dates of the qualifying matches and at the Confederations Cup 2009.

Brazil are currently training for the clashes against Argentina and Chile.
