Sao Paulo: Brazil's hopes of recapturing the Copa America in July have been dealt a further blow with a request from midfield star Ronaldinho not to be considered for selection.
The Barcelona star has told the Brazil Football Federation that he is too tired to play after a long season in Spain and Europe which is still underway.
Ronaldinho's request comes on the heels of a similar request from AC Milan's on-form midfielder Kaka. The two men are key elements in the side coached by Dunga.
Before the Copa America in Venezuela (June 26-July 15), Brazil has scheduled two friendlies against England at the new Wembley on June 1 and against Turkey in Dortmund four days later. — AFP
