Brazil head coach Dorival Junior insists he did not want to risk Richarlison after the Tottenham forward was left on the bench during the 1-0 win against England on Saturday night.
England lost their first match in 21 games at Wembley as Endrick’s second-half goal sealed the victory for Brazil.
Richarlison, meanwhile, returned from a knee injury as a late substitute in Tottenham’s 3-0 defeat to Fulham last Saturday.
The 26-year-old joined up with Brazil’s squad for the international break but he was not brought off the bench during the win against England.
Brazil are now due to play Spain in Madrid on Tuesday evening and Dorival Junior admits he is taking ‘all possible care’ with Richarlison’s knee issue.

When asked about Richarlison’s absence after Brazil’s win over England at Wembley, Dorival Junior said: ‘I didn’t go with Richarlison, who made an enormous effort to get on the pitch, but he has a natural recovery process.
‘We are taking all possible care with him so as not to worsen the situation.
