Filipe Luis eyes ''dream'' Brazil recall

Atlético Madrid defender Filipe Luis has set his sights on forcing his way back into the Brazil squad.

The 26-year-old suffered a horrific fibula fracture in January of 2010 which subsequently cost him the chance to represent his country at the last World Cup.

Luis, however, believes that he destined to add to his solitary Seleção cap in the near future.

''The injury slowed my career projection,'' the right-back told AS. ''I lost a World Cup, Brazil call-ups and the interest of other clubs.

''But the same week that I was injured I knew that Atlético was interested in signing me, despite me being injured. And I knew that with hard work, I could get back to my original level.

''I believe in destiny and I know that I ended up at Atlético for a reason. This club can grow and I am proud to be part of this project.

''My dream is return to the Brazilian national team and the time will come.''
