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."
