SEVILLA'S top scorer Luis Fabiano will miss the Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid after failing to recover from a thigh muscle injury in time, the Spanish club said.
The 29-year-old picked up the injury while warming up for Sevilla's game at Almeria on Saturday and while his absence will be a big blow for his club he said fans of Brazil need not worry about his fitness.
"I'm relaxed, and Brazilian fans can also stay calm because I'll be 100 percent at the World Cup," he said in a statement.
Fabiano is a key figure in Brazil's plans for South Africa, and although he was making a good recovery, Brazil demanded he be released to join up with the rest of Dunga's squad, Sevilla said on its Website.
Sevilla will also be without Spain striker Alvaro Negredo, who was sent off during the 3-2 victory over Almeria for protesting a decision.
Negredo's third straight red card of the season will not have done his chances of making Vicente del Bosque's final 23-man squad for South Africa any good.
Both Atletico and Sevilla have had to request permission for World Cup-bound players to be released for the Copa final at the Nou Camp, because of the date chosen by the Spanish football federation for the event.
Atletico has also been sweating over the availability of some of its top players. Argentina has given permission for striker Sergio Aguero to play, but Atletico is still awaiting confirmation from Portugal with regards to midfielders Simao and Tiago, and from Uruguay for top scorer Diego Forlan, the club said.
