Sao Paulo: Ronaldinho has been included in Brazil’s 23-man roster for a Feb. 28 exhibition against Bosnia at St. Gallen, Switzerland, while Kaka and Robinho again were left out.

Brazil coach Mano Menezes said Ronaldinho remained an integral part of his plans despite the former Barcelona star’s recent poor form for Brazilian club Flamengo.

The coach hinted he was expecting more from Kaka’s recent performances with Real Madrid.

Brazil will play Denmark in Germany in May, then will tour the United States to play the hosts on May 30 at Landover Md., Mexico on June 3 at Arlington, Texas, and South American rival Argentina on June 9 at East Rutherford, N.J.

The roster:

Goalkeepers: Diego Alves (Valencia, Spain), Julio Cesar (Inter Milan, Italy), Rafael (Santos)

Defenders: Adriano (Barcelona, Spain), Alex Sandro (Porto, Portugal), Daniel Alves (Barcelona, Spain), Danilo (Porto, Portugal), David Luiz (Chelsea, England), Dede (Vasco da Gama), Luisao (Benfica, Portugal), Marcelo (Real Madrid, Spain), Thiago Silva (AC Milan, Italy)
