Liverpool attacker Roberto Firmino has been called up to the Brazil squad to replace the injured Kaka for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Kaka suffered a thigh strain during training on Saturday and missed Orlando City's 2-2 draw against Real Sale Lake in their MLS opener.
The 33-year-old is set for a stint on the sidelines and has been ruled out of Brazil's meetings with Uruguay and Paraguay in late March.
Capped 11 times, the 24-year-old has scored in his past two outings – including in Liverpool's 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace.
Firmino is his club's leading goalscorer in the league this season with eight.
