Neymar returns to Brazil squad to face Argentina

The Barcelona forward will be back to captain his country in the World Cup qualification showdown in Buenos Aires.

Barcelona forward Neymar will return to the Brazil squad that will face Argentina and Peru in World Cup qualification next month, coach Dunga announced on Thursday.

Brazil travels to Buenos Aires to take on Argentina on Nov. 13 before hosting Peru on Nov. 17.

Captain Neymar returns to the squad after completing his four-match suspension following his red card against Colombia in June’s Copa America.

Goalkeeper Jefferson has also retained his place following suggestions he may be dropped and will face added competition from Corinthians' Cassio, who will be hoping to make his international debut as the sole newcomer to the squad.
