The 26-year-old is having a tough spell at Inter, after his relation with Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho deteriorated in recent weeks due to the player's lack of discipline.

L'Imperatore's partying lifestyle has resulted in him missing the club's training on more than one occasion. However, Dunga still believes that the striker is good enough to play for Brazil.

In the meantime, Dunga decided to rest AC Milan playmaker Ronaldinho for the Portugal exhibition.

"I know that Dinho works hard and well at Milan, but I don't need to test him in this friendly," Dunga was quoted as saying by Calcio Italia.

"I just want him to get back to perfect condition as soon as possible because he is an irreplaceable player for us."
