Atlético Mineiro defender Réver is delighted to be part of the Seleção again and has stated his intentions to try and play in the World Cup.

The 27-year-old centre-back has taken advantage of the absent Dédé to be included in Mano Menezes 21-man squad to face Colombia next month.

Réver was part of Brazil’s starting line-up to face Argentina, but the game was called off due to floodlight failure, and also came on in Brazil’s 8-0 win over China.

The defender now wants to make the most of another opportunity to impress Menezes.

He said: “I am very pleased to have been invited. I was not there for the last two games against Iraq and Japan, but now I’m back with the Seleção and I am even more motivated.

“Personally I have a goal to reach the 2014 World Cup and I will work every day to get there.

“I hope to have my chance and play.”

The former Grêmio man currently has five international caps to his name.
