The veteran shot-stopper has been allowed to return to the San Siro after sustaining a minor thigh injury in Friday's 1-0 international friendly victory over Costa Rica
Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar has been confirmed as an absentee for Brazil's upcoming friendly against Mexico.The 32-year-old custodian picked up a thigh problem in the second half of Brazil's 1-0 friendly victory against Costa Rica on Friday, being replaced by Jefferson on 74 minutes.
Test scans have revealed that the veteran has only suffered a minor knock, but he has been granted leave by the national team in order not to aggravate the problem.
"I spoke with [coach] Mano Menezes and we decided it was prudent to allow him to return to the club [Inter] on Sunday," Brazil doctor Jose Runco told Globoesporte.
"He has had this injury before, so it is better if he continues the treatment there [in Milan] so that it does not get worse."
Jefferson, who is on the books of Botafogo, will replace Julio Cesar in the net for Brazil against Mexico in Torreon on Tuesday.
