Strange that he hasn't had a single full cap yet?
Dunga is the manager mate, Bernard his team mate hasn't been called up since Dunga took charge either after being a pretty much regular on call ups for a couple of years prior.
Costa only got called up after the world cup as well despite very good form in that league and Willian only got a call up after his move to Chelsea, basically playing their is a death sentence for an international career for Brazil
When for your position your competing against Coutinho (rs), Firminho (rs), Oscar (Chelsea), Willian (Chelsea), Costa (Bayern) and Neymar (Barca) - probably left a few out their as well, then your basically screwed if your not playing in a major high profile league
