Corinthians striker Alexandre Pato will be called up for Brazil’s friendly against Bolivia, according to Brazilian sports site Lancenet.

Alexandre Pato returned to Brazilian football in January, and has previously played for Internacional and Milan.

The striker has not regained his old form yet although managed to play 11 games in a row in February, a record high in recent years.

He has not played for Brazil’s national team since the match against Sweden in August 2012.

The former Milan player will be one of three Corinthians players called up for that match. Ralf and Paulinho will also be in the squad.

Brazil’s full squad will be announced on March 28, only Brazil-based players will be called up for the game, as it will not be played on a FIFA date.

The match will be played on April 6 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

Brazil will also feature a full home-based squad against Chile on May 24.
