He will take Wesley’s place after Wesley was ruled out with a muscle injury to the adductor in his left thigh, suffered in the 2-1 win over Egypt last Saturday (6).

Next Saturday (13), Brazil will face Morocco in the opening round of Group C at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Before that match, the team will have four more training sessions.
