Man City keeper Claudio Bravo out of Chile's Confederations Cup opener against Cameroon due to calf injury

Chile have ruled out goalkeeper Claudio Bravo for their Confederations Cup debut against Cameroon.

The Chilean soccer federation said the Manchester City goalkeeper has not fully recovered from a left calf injury he sustained in late April on club duty.

The latest MRI performed on the Chile captain 'showed that the left calf injury has improved, but his return to play will depend on its evolution', the federation said.
