Several senior players excluded from Brazil squad

A number of experienced players have been left out of Mano Menezes's latest Brazilian squad for this month's friendly against Bosnia.

Inter Milan duo Maicon and Lucio have been overlooked, as have AC Milan's Robinho and Alexandre Pato.

There is also no place for Real Madrid's Kaka, while Manchester United's Da Silva twins have failed to make the cut.

However, Menezes has decided to call upon the services of Flamengo's attacking midfielder Ronaldinho.
