Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson has
replaced current Red Devil Anderson in Brazil's Confederations Cup
squad.
Anderson is injured and sources in Brazil suggest
he may require an operation this summer after being substituted at
half time in the Champions League final defeat to
Barcelona.
Kleberson famously flopped at Old Trafford after arriving with a
big reputation as a World Cup winner but he is back in his homeland
representing Flamengo and earned the call-up from Carlos Dunga.
"When I received the news, I could not contain myself and
started to skip around the whole house," he enthused. "I am
very happy and euphoric and have to say this is one of the happiest
days of my life."
It is Kleberson's first call-up since 2004 but Anderson faces a
spell recovering from surgery during the close season.
