Chelsea trio David Luiz, Ramires and Oscar and Spurs' Sandro have been included in the squad for Brazil's 1000th game.

The 2014 World Cup hosts face Colombia in a friendly in New Jersey in the United States on 14th November.

Real Madrid's Kaka has also been included in coach Mano Menezes' squad, which was announced on Wednesday, after featuring for Brazil in comfortable friendly wins over Iraq and Japan in September.

In-form Lucas Moura, who is joining big-spending French side Paris Saint Germain in January, and Santos starlet Neymar have also been called upon, as have Brazil captain Thiago Silva and Hulk of Zenit St Petersburg.

But missing from the squad are Ronaldinho of Atletico Mineiro and the two top scorers in the domestic league, Fred and Luis Fabiano, who have been spared to allow them to concentrate on the Brazilian league title.

Brazil squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Diego Alves (Valencia), Jefferson (Botafogo).

Defenders: Adriano, Daniel Alves (both Barcelona), Fabio Santos (Corinthians), David Luiz (Chelsea), Leandro Castan (AS Roma), Rever (Atletico Mineiro), Thiago Silva (PSG).

Midfielders: Arouca (Santos), Paulinho (Corinthians), Ramires, Oscar (both Chelsea), Sandro (Tottenham), Giuliano (Dnipro), Kaka (Real Madrid), Lucas Moura (Sao Paulo), Thiago Neves (Fluminense).

Strikers: Hulk (Zenit), Leandro Damiao (Internacional), Neymar (Santos).
