Brazil midfielder Luiz Gustavo will miss the Copa America after suffering an injury to his right knee.

The Wolfsburg midfielder scored as his side beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the German Cup final on Saturday, however he will now need surgery on his knee and has had to withdraw from Brazil’s tournament squad as a result.

The CBF have not yet confirmed Luiz Gustavo’s replacement, but it is likely to be Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fred, the only defensive midfielder present on Brazil’s reserve list.
