Uncapped Zenit Saint-Petersburg center-back Robert Renan has been drafted into Brazil's squad for friendlies against Guinea and Senegal, the South American country's football confederation said.
The 19-year-old replaces Fluminense defender Nino, who was ruled out with a hamstring injury, a Xinhua report said.
Renan impressed Brazil's interim manager Ramon Menezes with his performances in the Russian Premier League and this year's under-20 World Cup in Argentina.
