Lucas happy to be back in Brazil mix
Lucas Leiva has expressed his delight at being recalled to the Brazil squad.
The midfielder, who has been impressive in the centre of the park for Liverpool this season, made Luiz Felipe Scolari's list for next month's friendlies against South Korea and Zambia.
Lucas took to his Instagram page to share his joy, posting a picture of himself in his national team kit, with the caption: "Today the feeling is [like] when I got my first call to play for Brazil. I am very happy to have this opportunity to represent my country again."
The 26-year-old will hope to continue his fine displays for both club and country, as he eyes a spot in next year's World Cup on his home soil.
