Brazil coach Dunga has called up Werder Bremen's Diego and Besiktas striker Bobo to replace injured AC Milan pair Kaka and Pato for Wednesday's friendly against Ireland in Dublin, Italian agency Ansa said Monday.

Pato injured ankle ligaments in Milan's 1-0 win at Fiorentina on Sunday and coach Carl Ancelotti said the teenage star could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Kaka was substituted before the end of the match against the Viola although his injury is thought to be less serious.
