Sau Paulo midfielder Hernanes will replace AC Milan's Kaka for Brazil's upcoming fixtures. Kaka is currently recovering from a surgery, which he had undergone on his left knee last month. Brazil's team doctor Jose Luiz Runco reported.
Hernanes has impressed coach Dunga after he returned to Sau Paulo from Santo Andre. The 23 year old midfielder is thrilled to be part of Brazil's national team.
Hernanes will join the squad in Boston ahead of Brazil's friendly against Venezuela at the Foxborough Staduim on Friday.
