| SAO PAULO, Brazil - Besiktas striker Bobo and Werder Bremen midfielder Diego will replace injured AC Milan players Kaka and Alexandre Pato on Brazil's team for Wednesday's friendly against Ireland. The Brazilian soccer confederation announced the changes Monday on its website. Kaka hurt his left knee in Milan's 1-0 win over Fiorentina in the Italian league on Sunday, while Pato twisted his right ankle in the same match. Brazil coach Dunga has said he intends to test several newcomers against Ireland in preparation for the Beijing Olympics in August. Brazil has never won the men's Olympic soccer title. |
