After losing Douglas Costa and Ricardo Oliveira even before the start of the Copa América Centenário, Brazil coach Dunga may also lose Barcelona attacking midfielder Rafinha.
The coach said that the permanence of the player depends on the evolution of his recovery from an injury. The news during the weekend was that Rafinha has not trained with the national team. He performed on Tuesday, but was then rested due to muscle pain along with Douglas Costa, who was eventually cut off from the squad. Rafinha, however, hasn’t recovered, but the coaching staff has decided to wait for his recovery. Shortly after removing Douglas Costa, the Brazilian Football Confederation sent a formal request to CONMEBOL for changing the player, and announced that Orlando City playmaker Kaká would be the replacement. Benfica striker Jonas had previously replaced injured Santos frontman Ricardo Oliveira.
