Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho and Barcelona midfielder Rafinha have been called into the Brazil squad in place of Oscar and Ramires after the Chelsea duo dropped out due to injury.
Dunga’s men are set to face Costa Rica on September 5 and the United States three days later, but will do so without both Blues stars, with the Liverpool and Barcelona midfielders called up in their stead. Rafinha, who has played for Spain up to U19 level has since snubbed La Roja, but he’s yet to make his debut for Brazil, but could do so in the two fixtures. Fabinho was called into the squad to replace Dani Alves on Wednesday after the Barcelona full-back withdrew.
