Chelsea quartet named in Brazil's World Cup squad

The Chelsea quartet of David Luiz, Oscar, Willian and Ramires have all been included in the Brazil squad for this summer's World Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Paulinho and Manchester City's Fernandinho have also been named in Luiz Felipe Scolari's 23-man party for the tournament.

However, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Lucas Moura, Philippe Coutinho and Robinho are among the high-profile absentees for the five-time champions.

Barcelona duo Neymar and Dani Alves are both part of Scolari's plans, while Marcelo, Dante and Hulk will also be involved.
