Rafael da Silva in, Dani Alves out for Brazil

Manchester United defender Rafael da Silva has been drafted into the Brazil squad for their upcoming friendlies in place of the injured Dani Alves.

The Barcelona full-back has been ruled out of action for up to eight weeks with a broken collarbone.

Da Silva will now come into the side as the team prepares for the Olympics.

Brazil face fixtures against Denmark, the USA, Mexico and Argentina in the next month.
