Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson will miss next week's international friendlies against France and Croatia due to injury, the Brazilian Football Federation announced Friday.
Brazil coach Dorival Junior had named Alisson to the squad, but the Liverpool keeper is replaced by Corinthians' Hugo Souza.
The matches are set for March 26 in Boston and March 31 in Orlando.
Alisson will also miss Liverpool's Saturday match at Brighton. The 33-year-old has battled recurring injuries this season, including an eight-match absence last fall from a hamstring problem.
