Kaka and Pato out of Brazil’s friendly. Good chance for Diego… and Bobo.

Brazilian boss, Dunga, is going to have to cross two very good players out of his roster, which will face Ireland this Wednesday in Dublin. Kaka and Alexandre Pato are out due to injuries. Kaka has a knee problem and Pato twisted his left ankle on the match against Fiorentina. Defender Lucio is also injured and out of the friendly. On the other hand, two lucky players where brought in: Diego and Bobo. Yes, Bobo.
Right, Bobo who? This cute one on the picture? Bobo is currently a forward for Besiktas who has been scoring many happy goals around there. Dunga went to Turkey to see Alex (from Fehnerbace) play and ended up taking Bobo home!
Diego is a well know midfielder. And even thought he has been called to join the Brazilian Selecao many times, few times has Dunga given him any eral chances of playing. He gets 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there, and can never do anythign substantial. No wonder! I hope Dunga will actually start him for once, so that he can show the game he plays at Werder Bremen.
