Brazil replace injured keeper Ederson in Copa America squad.

Brazil replace injured keeper Ederson in Copa America squad.

Brazil have called up three more players for the Copa America after South American governing body CONMEBOL allowed teams to expand their squads to 26 from 23 and they have also replaced injured goalkeeper Ederson.

Juventus defender Bremer, Atalanta midfielder Ederson and Porto forward Pepe have been added to the squad, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said in a statement on Sunday.

Coach Dorival Junior, who took over Brazil in January after a run of poor results in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup under Fernando Diniz, has brought in Sao Paulo’s Rafael for Manchester City’s Ederson.

Ederson suffered a small fracture of his eye socket when he collided with Tottenham Hotspur’s Argentina defender Cristian Romero during City’s 2-0 away win last week. The 30-year-old keeper celebrated winning the Premier League with his City teammates on Sunday after a win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.

Brazil’s original 23-man squad was unveiled earlier this month, including 17-year-old prodigy Endrick but without stalwarts such as defensive midfielder Casemiro and forwards Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus.

“All players, regardless of when they were called up, arrive on equal terms to compete and fight for a place in the starting team,” Junior said in a video released by CBF.

Nine-times champions Brazil kick off their Copa America campaign against Costa Rica on June 24 followed by Paraguay four days’ later and Colombia on July 2. The quadrennial tournament will be held in the United States from June 20-July 14.

Brazil will play friendlies against Mexico on June 8 and the U.S. on June 12 as part of their preparations.

Tottenham Hotspur beat relegated Sheffield United 3-0 to cement fifth place and qualify for the Europa League next season after a Dejan Kulusevski double and Pedro Porro rocket in their final Premier League game of the campaign at Bramall Lane on Sunday.

The result saw Spurs finish on 66 points, two points below fourth-placed Aston Villa, who had already claimed the final Champions League place, and three points above Chelsea.

“It was important we put in a decent performance today and won the game for a number of reasons. I thought the lads handled it pretty well,” Tottenham mamager Ange Postecoglou said.

“It’s always a bit difficult, the last game of the year, Sheffield United don’t have anything to play for. So it can be easy to not have the right mentality, but I thought for the most part we had that tonight.”

After a nervy start, Spurs took the lead when Micky van de Ven won the ball and launched an attack, with Son Heung-Min finding Sweden midfielder Kulusevski who arrowed a low shot into the corner.

Tottenham doubled their lead just before the hour when Porro scored with a thunderbolt which gave goalkeeper Wes Foderingham no chance before Kulusevski grabbed his second six minutes later when he slotted home James Maddison’s cross.

Basement side United nearly went down to 10 men when midfielder Andre Brooks was shown a red card in the 76th minute for bringing down Son in the box before a set-piece but it was overturned by the referee following a VAR review.

United, whose relegation was confirmed last month, finished the season with the worst defensive record in Premier League history after they conceded 104 goals in 38 games.

Sheffield United finished bottom of the table with 16 points.

Kai Havertz gave a scathing reaction after Arsenal missed out on the Premier League title. The Gunners did their bit against Everton at the Emirates, with the German forward scoring a late winner to seal a 2-1 win.

But it mattered little, courtesy of Manchester City overcoming West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad. And speaking to TNT Sports after the final whistle at the Emirates, Havertz underlined his frustration at the club failing to land a first top-flight crown in 20 years.

Asked if Arsenal should be pleased with pushing the champions to the brink, he replied: “Right now I can’t think about that. Sometimes it’s not fair in football but we have to accept it.

“Football is hard. But hopefully we can go again next year and give Arsenal fans what they deserve. But I can tell them next year we are going to be even better team, and we are going to give everything again.”

The 24-year-old also conceded it was difficult to to take any consolation from the 2023/24 campaign, and sympathised with supporters who had endured another season without a trophy. “What can I say, I feel so sorry for the Arsenal fans, for us, it wasn’t enough,” he added.

“Maybe in two or three months we can say it was a good fight but right now I feel like we deserved more. It was not to be the end but we go again next year.”

For much of the afternoon it looked like Mikel Arteta’s men were set to fluff their lines, with Idrissa Gueye’s deflected free-kick putting the Toffees ahead before half-time. Takehiro Tomiyasu equalised three minutes later though, and the clock had reached the 89th minute before Havertz swept home the winner from close range.

Everton have long sealed their Premier League survival, but the defiance of Sean Dyche’s men did not go down well with Havertz. He took aim at the Toffees for apparent time wasting during the afternoon.

“We showed again great character,” he insisted. “They didn’t make it easy for us – from the first minute they played every thrown in down, and every ball. They took their time in my opinion.”
