Rio de Janeiro - Manchester City's Robinho is set to command Brazil's attacking line in November in friendlies against England and Oman, coach Carlos Dunga confirmed Tuesday. The squad for Brazil's last two matches of the year - November 14 against England in Doha and November 17 against Oman in Muscat - also features Real Madrid superstar Kaka and Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said in its website.

Dunga only called players who are active in Europe, so as to preserve teams engaged in the final stretch of the Brazilian football championship.

The list includes several players who have not yet made their national team debut such as Hoffenheim midfielder Carlos Eduardo, Olympique Lyon defender Michel Bastos and Oporto striker Hulk.

The two friendlies are set to close off a successful season for Brazil, who won the Confederations Cup and qualified comfortably for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
