Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira avoided any major surprises as the champions named their 23-man World Cup squad yesterday.
Sao Paulo captain Rogerio Ceni, who has scored more than 50 goals from free-kicks and penalties in his career, won a place as a third-choice goalkeeper as Marcos, the previous selection, failed to regain fitness.
There was no place for central defender Roque Junior in the Brazil World Cup squad while Germany-based Gilberto won a spot as reserve to Roberto Carlos at left back.
Brazil are grouped with Croatia, Australia and Japan at the finals in Germany which begin on June 9.
The squad:
Goalkeepers: Dida (Milan), Julio Cesar (Inter), Rogerio Ceni (Sao Paulo).
Defenders: Cafu (Milan), Cicinho (Real Madrid), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Juan (Bayer Leverkusen), Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid), Gilberto (Hertha Berlin), Cris (Lyon), Luisao (Benfica).
Midfielders: Edmilson (Barce-lona), Juninho Pernambucano (Lyon), Emerson (Juventus), Ze Roberto (Bayern Munich), Gilberto Silva (Arsenal), Kaka (Milan), Ricardinho (Corinthians).
Forwards: Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Robinho (Real Madrid), Ronaldinho (Barcelona), Adriano (Inter), Fred (Lyon).
