AC Milan's Ronaldinho was once again left out of the Brazil squad as coach Dunga named his 22-man squad for a friendly with Portugal on 19 November.

Despite some excellent performances in Serie A from Ronaldinho the coach opted for a strikeforce which includes Manchester City sensation Robinho and mis-firing Inter Milan man Adriano, saying: "Ronaldinho needs more training and more rhythm."
