Injured Bayern Munich defender Lucio has pulled out of Brazil`s squad to face Portugal in a friendly international on Wednesday, the Brazilian football federation (CBF) said.

However the CBF did not mention any replacement for the match in Brasilia.

The original squad, named earlier this month, was virtually the same as for World Cup qualifiers except for the absence of AC Milan`s Ronaldinho, whom coach Dunga said needed `more training and rhythm.`
