He won't be able to play against Paraguay, meaning that Tite has given his permission for the defender to return to Spain and prepare for the Copa del Rey quarter-final tie with Athletic Club.

Militao played all 90 minutes in Brazil's 1-1 draw against Ecuador and will now have an extended period of rest before the cup game, although after the flights he will have little less than a week to work with Carlo Ancelotti in training.
