Brazil's Internazionale trio will not link up with Dunga's World Cup squad until Thursday in South Africa, the Brazilian Football Confederation said.
Goalkeeper Julio Cesar and defenders Lucio and Maicon, who helped Inter win the Champions League with a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich on Saturday, have been asked to stay in Italy for the team celebrations, the CBF said on its website.
The trio will meet up with the Brazil squad at their base in Johannesburg on Thursday.
