Dunga's men will face Sweden in a friendly at the Emirates Stadium in London on Wednesday without Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and FIFA World Player of the Year Kaka.

All three are unavailable through injury, leaving Dunga with a relatively inexperienced squad as he prepares both for the resumption of World Cup qualifying in June - they are third in the South American group - and this summer's Olympics.

But as far as Dunga is concerned, the difficult decision is not who to call up to replace his star trio, but who to leave out.

"I can only call 22," he said. "We have great players.

"I've got other stars - I have Robinho, Julio Cesar, I have Gilberto - anyone who plays in the Brazilian team is a good player.

"Everybody has to win their place and proves their worth."

It will still be an impressive line-up on show, with Real Madrid star Robinho and Primera Liga top scorer Luis Fabiano together in attack.

And Dunga believes it is important that, even though he can use the friendly as a chance to experiment, his players know they will be picked if they are in form.

"Perhaps it might be that you have to build up confidence with the players," he said.

"(When) they are working with me in the few opportunities we have together - when they're playing well, why would you take them out? Let them have the pleasure of playing.

"You have to build a group.

"The players have to have the certainty that when they come to play they're going to be able to play and work as a group."

One player hoping to feature will be AC Milan star Alexandre Pato.

The teenager will start on the bench, but could win his first cap after being forced to withdraw from the squad which beat the Republic of Ireland 1-0 in February because of injury.

"It will depend on the game," said Dunga.

"They are all here to play and he is a quality player and that's the reason why he's in the Brazilian team.

"It's an opportunity for him."

The match marks the 50th anniversary of when the two teams met in the World Cup final in Sweden.

And Dunga believes the current Sweden team have some similarities with their illustrious predecessors.

"They play 4-4-2, very close, they have good players and are difficult to penetrate.

"Whenever we've played Sweden it's always been difficult and against Sweden there's always a strong motivation to play."

Sweden coach Lars Lagerback reckons Wednesday's test will stand them in good stead for this summer's Euro 2008 finals.

"We'll be playing against one of the best teams in the world," he said.

"It will be a good test for us to play a team that in terms of attack and passing is as good as Spain, who we'll be playing against in the European Championships."

Erik Edman will not be a part of Lagerback's plans in Austria and Switzerland after the Wigan full-back suffered a serious knee injury against Blackburn at the weekend.

Mikael Dorsin could benefit from Edman's absence and be handed a starting berth for Euro 2008, but the 26-year-old has expressed his sadness for his friend.

"I feel sorry for Erik, he is a good friend," Dorsin told Sky Sports News. "That's football so you continue.

"I hope I will play and we will see how we go."
