Brazil will be without the service of Douglas Costa for the football competition at the 2016 Olympic Games after he pulled back in light of a thigh harm.
The Bayern Munich winger had been picked as one of the three players more than 23 in the Brazil squad for the Games in Rio de Janeiro.
In any case, the harm has not yet recuperated, with Bayern settling on the choice that Costa can't highlight in the Olympics on home soil.
"I incredibly lament this," Bayern director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
"We as a whole needed Douglas to challenge the Olympic Games in his nation of origin, however the player's wellbeing and wellness takes need."
Barcelona star Neymar and veteran Palmeiras goalkeeper Fernando Prass were the other two over-age players chose in the squad.
Brazil start their campaign against South Africa at Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha in Brasilia on August 4.
