Chile have ruled out goalkeeper Claudio Bravo for their Confederations Cup debut against Cameroon.
The Chilean soccer federation said the Manchester City goalkeeper has not fully recovered from a left calf injury he sustained in late April on club duty.
The latest MRI performed on the Chile captain 'showed that the left calf injury has improved, but his return to play will depend on its evolution', the federation said.
Claudio Bravo will miss Chile's Confederations Cup opener with Cameroon on Sunday
The 34-year-old stopper will be replaced by Johnny Herrera for the Group B opener on Sunday in Moscow.
Chile also have matches against Germany in Kazan next Thursday, and Australia on June 25 in the Russian capital.
Chile, who qualified for the tournament in Russia as winners of the 2015 Copa America after beating Argentina in the final, will be hoping the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal can fire them to glory.
