Chelsea
midfielder Oscar will miss next month's Copa America, Brazil manager Dunga
has revealed.
Oscar has not been included in a 23-man Brazil squad featuring four Premier
League players, including his team-mates Filipe Luis and Willian.
And Dunga said the player, who did not feature on Sunday as Chelsea beat
Crystal Palace to win the Premier League, has been ruled out with an injury
suffered during a training session.
"We spoke with Jose Mourinho and the doctor at Chelsea," he said. "Oscar's
recuperation will take time and he won't be at his best during the Copa
America.
"After the Copa America we have the World Cup qualifiers, and we thought it
best for him to be ready for the qualifiers."
Porto's Casemiro has been called up to replace Oscar, while Philippe
Coutinho of Liverpool is named along with Manchester City's Fernandinho.
Squad: Jefferson, Diego Alves, Marcelo Grohe, David Luiz, Marquinhos, Thiago
Silva, Miranda, Fabinho, Marcelo,
Filipe Luís, Danilo, Luiz Gustavo, Fernandinho, Elias, Souza, Everton
Ribeiro, Douglas Costa, Willian, Philippe Coutinho, Neymar, Diego Tardelli,
Robinho, Firmino.
