Pato back in Brazil squad with eye on Olympics

Brazil meet Denmark and United States in May and Mexico and arch-rivals Argentina in June with an eye on the Olympic Games football tournament in July and August.

Pato was named in coach Mano Menezes's 23-man squad on Friday which is made up largely of under-23 players as Brazil look to try and win the Olympic gold medal for the first time and complete their collection of top trophies.

Marin said on Friday he had "full confidence" in the coach, adding his list was "intact ... I didn't make any suggestions".
