The Liverpool full-back still has high hopes that he could be in line for a Selecao call-up, after suffering badly on the international front in the past.
Liverpool left-back Fabio Aurelio has hinted that he would love to represent his country in the Confederations Cup at the end of the season.
The Brazilian defender has had extremely bad luck in the past, when been called up for international duty, but hopes now are the time for him.
The former Valencia man has been called up twice by Brazil, and both times has been stopped by serious injury.
Firstly, he suffered a serious knee injury just a day after he got the nod. Then, during the 2006/7 season, he damaged his Achilles and was once again unable to take part.
The 29-year-old has been a big part of his country's youth and Olympics squads, having played a total of 42 times, but is yet to play for the senior side.
However, there are rumours that he is to receive a call-up in the not-too-distant future by Brazil coach Dunga, and the former Sao Paulo player has his heart set on featuring at the end of the season.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Aurelio said, "They say left-back is not a position which is closed and there's a Confederations Cup at the end of the season, so it would be a good time to get involved.
"It's a big frustration I got injured before and I'd like to have at least one chance. I think I could take my opportunity."
Aurelio joined the Liverpool in 2006 from Valencia, and has since played 80 Premier League games for the club, scoring three times in the process.
