Andreas Pereira has been recalled to the Brazilian senior squad after an absence of six years.

The Fulham attacking midfielder, who shone in the Whites’ 2-1 win at his old club Manchester United last week, will get the chance to add to his only international cap – which came in a friendly against El Salvador – against England at Wembley on March 23 and when the Selecao take on Spain at the Bernabeu three days later.

Pereira’s return to the international fold comes after new Brazilian head coach Doriva Junior visited Motspur Park to watch the 28 year-old train.
