Cesar declared fit
14 April 2012
Goalkeeper Julio Cesar has been cleared to play in Brazil's Copa America opener against Chile on Thursday after he injured a leg muscle at the weekend.
The competition starts tonight with Venezuela's clash against Colombia but Brazil start as favourites.
Cesar, who trained yesterday, said: "I'm extremely relieved. The situation was killing me, it was terrible not to know if I was going to stay for the competition or not."
TONIGHT: Group A: Venezuela v Colombia (10.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1); Peru v Bolivia (12.45am, live on Sky Sports 1)
