England striker Danny Welbeck will miss Sunday's friendly against
Brazil in Rio de Janiero with a knee problem, coach Roy Hodgson said on
Saturday.
The Manchester United player also sat out Wednesday's 1-1 draw with
Ireland at Wembley but had hoped to recover in time to play in Brazil.
England are already without Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge who limped off at Wembley with an ankle problem.
Hodgson's team are playing Brazil at Rio's redeveloped Maracana Stadium
which is due to host matches at this month's Confederations Cup.
