Brazil stars train ahead of Copa America as Dunga's men link up in Teresopolis

Brazil players were put through their paces in training at their Teresopolis complex on Tuesday, as Dunga's men continued their preparations for the upcoming Copa America campaign.

Brazil will play two friendlies in the lead up to the tournament hosted in Chile later this month, the first against Mexico on Sunday. 

They'll then play Honduras on Wednesday next week, before kicking off the tournament proper against Peru on June 14.

Brazil have had to contend with a number of injuries recently, with defensive midfielder Luiz Gustavo and left-back Marcelo both withdrawing from the squad.

They are also waiting on several players to join them, owing to several club commitments.

Douglas Costa hasn't linked up with his team-mates because the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder is yet to finish the domestic season in Ukraine. 

Similarly, Al-Ahli winger Everton Ribeiro hasn't arrived owing to the ongoing UAE Arabian Gulf League. 

Barcelona forward Neymar, meanwhile, is due to play in the Champions League final against Juventus on Sunday.

Brazil have won the Copa America five times in their history, but were knocked out in the last eight of the 2011 tournament, where they were unimpressive under former manager Mano Menezes.
