No Oscar for Brazil at Copa

Brazil coach Dunga on Tuesday unveiled a squad shorn through injury of Chelsea's Oscar for the Copa America in Chile as the five-time world champion looks to return to winning ways after last year's World Cup failure.
Having succeeded Luiz Felipe Scolari after the World Cup 10 months ago, Dunga is out to repair the image of a team whose morale was shattered by its semifinal loss to Germany.
The 7-1 humiliation in Belo Horizonte left the nation of 202 million aghast as the Selecao failed to add an expected sixth world crown on home soil, revisiting the heartache of their 1950 final defeat in Rio to Uruguay.
