Amauri has been called up by Brazil to face Italy in February’s friendly, ending hopes of picking him for the Azzurri.
The Juventus star was born in Brazil, but is in the process of applying for Italian citizenship and said he would like to represent the peninsula at international level.
He had said he was waiting to see which of the two tacticians called him first and Carlos Dunga has decided not to waste any more time.
Dunga had originally not included Amauri in his squad for the February 10 encounter at the Emirates stadium in London.
Luis Fabiano has sustained an injury, so Amauri is called in as a replacement for his debut Selecao selection.
