Ronaldinho, Neymar handed triple Brazil chance

Brazil will tackle Argentina in Belem on September 28 after their first meeting in the continent's Superclasico ended 0-0 last week.

Menezes has called-up players who ply their trade in South America for that game while for the friendlies with Costa Rica, on October 7, and Mexico, four days later, he was able to summon the cream of his European-based talent.

For the clash with Argentina, Porto Algre's Leandro Damiao has been forced to pull out through a thigh injury.

Menezes will be without Robinho, Pato and Paulo Henrique Ganso for the matches with Costa Rica and Mexico while Porto striker Kleber gets a first-time call-up.

Neymar of Santos and Ronaldinho, now playing at Flamengo, have been selected for all three meetings.
