Brazil called up Atalanta midfielder Ederson on Sunday to replace the injured defender Wesley for its World Cup squad.
Ederson, who has made three caps for Brazil, will join his teammates on Monday.
Wesley will miss the tournament due to an injury to the adductor muscle in his left thigh, per the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) on Sunday. The AS Roma defender was injured during Saturday's 2-1 friendly win over Egypt in Cleveland.
'The CBF regrets the injury,' the CBF said in a statement. 'Wesley is a player much loved by the squad and will always be considered part of this team as it seeks to win its sixth World Cup title.'
Brazil plays its Group C opener against Morocco on Saturday in East Rutherford, N.J. It also will face Haiti on June 19 in Philadelphia and Scotland on June 24 in Miami.
