Ronaldinho returned to the national team

Ronaldinho again in Brazil squad for friendlies

brazil coach Mano Menezes has kept Ronaldinho in the squad for three upcoming friendlies, while leaving young sensation Leandro Damiao and Alexandre Pato out because of injuries.

Neymar is also in the squad for the game against Argentina on Wednesday in the second leg of the Superclassic of the Americas series, and the friendly matches against Costa Rica on Oct. 7 and Mexico on Oct. 11.

Menezes announced a separate list for the match against Argentina _ only with players from local clubs _ and another for the other two friendlies, including players from abroad.

Ronaldinho returned to the national team in August for the first time in nearly a year after some good performances with Flamengo. The popular Brazilian club has been struggling recently, winless in 10 matches, but Ronaldinho is keeping his spot with Brazil.

Kaka remained out of the squad as Menezes waits for him to improve his form with Real Madrid, while former captain Lucio and Robinho did not make the list. Lazio midfielder Hernanes, Manchester United defender Fabio and FC Porto striker Hulk were summoned, while injured Santos playmaker Paulo Henrique Ganso remained out.
