Brazil boss Carlos Dunga has called up Manchester United's Anderson to replace the injured Kaká
Former FC Porto man Anderson will step into the squad Brazil's midweek clash with Sweden at the Emirates Stadium in London and will be hoping to earn his fourth cap for the national side.
Dunga decided to remove AC Milan playmaker Kaká from the Seleçao after it became apparent that he was unlikely to have recovered from a muscle injury in time for Wednesday.
The game with Sweden will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1958 World Cup final between the countries, which Brazil won 5-2 with Pele scoring twice

Manchester United's rising star Anderson is confident that he can fill the boots of Kaka, after being called up to replace the injured AC Milan playmaker for Brazil's friendly against Sweden.
Brazil coach Carlos Dunga elected to remove Kaka from the Seleçao after it became apparent that he was unlikely to have recovered from a muscle injury in time for Wednesday, leaving the door open to Anderson, who was pivotal to United's victory against Liverpool at the weekend.
"I had more freedom and played as a "No 10" against Liverpool," said Anderson assuredly. "I feel very at ease playing this way and I hope that I can repeat the performances I have had at my club when I play for Brazil.
'I am doubly happy, since I will play for my country and I have been part of an important victory over a rival in the English championship.'
The game with Sweden will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1958 World Cup final between the countries, which Brazil won 5-2 with Pele famously scoring twice.
