Brazil coach Dunga has named a preliminary squad of 34 players ahead of the Copa America in Venezuela. Dunga accepted Ronaldinho's and Kaka's decision to rest rather than play in the tournament that takes place from June 26 to July 15.
However, the pair are included in the party to play England at Wembley on Friday.
