"Robinho is ruled out of the match and will continue his physiotherapy," the Brazilian Football Confederation's official website said.

The Real Madrid forward picked up the injury during Saturday's training session and his absence means Fred will be the first-choice substitute for starting duo Ronaldo and Adriano.

Robinho came off the bench for Brazil in their first two opening games in the group stage and was granted a starting spot alongside Ronaldo in the last match against Japan.
