Richarlison out of Brazil's Copa America quarter-final with mumps

The Everton forward has been ruled out through illness and will join the unavailable Casemiro and Fernandinho on the sidelines

Brazil forward Richarlison will miss Thursday's Copa America quarter-final against Paraguay through illness, manager Tite has confirmed.

The Everton star started the hosts' first two group matches before sitting out the big win over Peru on Saturday, and he will again be absent in the last eight, after being diagnosed with the mumps.

Richarlison is being kept in isolation due to the contagious nature of the illness, with Brazil stating he needs "full rest and medication" in order to recover.
