Geromel replaces Caio in Brazil squad
Pedro
Geromel
has
been
called
up for
Brazil's
upcoming World Cup qualifiers as a
replacement for the injured Rodrigo Caio.
The Sao Paulo medical staff advised the
Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) that
Caio had suffered a strain of the adductor
muscle in his right thigh.
The 23-year-old is unavailable for Brazil's
next two qualifiers, with Gremio defender
Geromel called up by coach Tite in his place.
Geromel, 30, has never played for Brazil at
any level.
Brazil, semi-finalists at the last World Cup,
face Ecuador (September 1) and Colombia
(September 6) in their upcoming qualifiers.
They are sixth in the standings after six
games, four points off leaders Uruguay and
Ecuador.
