Brazil coach Dunga has ruled striker Ronaldo out of the Copa America in Venezuela, saying he wants to give a chance to other players.

Ronaldo has not played for his country since Dunga took over following the World Cup last year but has enjoyed a new lease of life with AC Milan following his move from Real Madrid.

"He didn't play at the last Copa Americas so there's nothing new in this," Dunga told Brazilian television.

"We know that we can count on him when we need him, so we want to give a chance to some other players."

The Copa America will take place from June 26 to July 15. Brazil, the defending champions, will face Mexico, Ecuador and Chile in their first round group.
