New Delhi: Brazil take on Sweden in a friendly game at the Emirates Stadium in London on Wednesday.
The match is being held to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1958 World Cup final that was contested between the two sides.
Brazil had won that game 5-2 for their first World Cup title.
Brazil's head coach Dunga has not named Ronaldinho while playmaker Kaka is sitting out due to a muscle injury.
"I can only pick 22 players and we have many great players and I have got other stars. I have Robinho, I have Julio Cesar and Gilberto - anybody who is in the team is a good player. But it is always a hard game against Sweden," Dunga said.
Manchester United midfielder Anderson will come in for Kaka and Palmeiras' Henrique will take the place of another injured player AS Roma defender Juan.
Henrique is one of 11 players on the squad who are under 23 and qualify for the Olympics. The others are Alexandre Pato, Diego Alves, Hernanes, Leo, Lucas, Marcelo, Rafael Sobis, Rafinha, Diego and Thiago Neves. Each country can use only three players older than 23 at the Olympics.
