Four Premier League players have been cut from Brazil's squad for the upcoming Copa America tournament.

For the second time, the United States will host the showpiece and six CONCACAF teams will join the South American sides for the 48th edition.

Brazil, who were finalists three years ago, are one of the favourites for the tournament .

Their 23-man squad was announced on Friday ahead of warm-up games against Mexico and the United States prior to the opening game against Costa Rica on 24 June.

But a number of household names have not made the cut, including four stars from the English top flight.

Spurs striker Richarlison, who led the line at the World Cup, misses out after suffering a calf injury.

And Manchester United midfielder Casemiro, capped 75 times by his country, has been omitted after a poor run of form.

The 32-year-old had a torrid time in United's recent 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

"He deserves all of our respect," manager Dorival Junior said, as per ESPN.

"I had a chat with him in Manchester three months ago. He knows what I think of him."

Mateus Cunha and Gabriel Jesus of Wolves and Arsenal respectively, have also been overlooked - as has United target Bremer of Juventus.

But Premier League stars Alisson Becker, Gabriel Magalhaes, Andreas Pereira, Bruno Guimaraes, Joao Gomes, Lucas Paqueta and Gabriel Martinelli are all in.

Record scorer Neymar is sidelined from the whole competition, with Real Madrid trio Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo Goes and Endrick tasked with firing the Selecao to victory.
