Kaka, Luis Fabiano and Gilberto Silva stayed behind from the rest of the Brazilian national soccer team's trip to face Bolivia.
Injuries kept the stars from participating in Sunday's match. The three trained on Sunday at the Morenao stadium in Campo Grande, the site of the team's next game in the South American World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela.
The national team will hold practice on Monday in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. The tree players took advantage of their time on Sunday to get to know the field, jog and take part in a light practice headed by the national team's physical trainer, Fabio Mahseredjian.
Helton, a reserve goalie, also stayed behind but did not take part in Sunday's practice.
After the match against Bolivia on Sunday, the Brazilian athletes will return to Brazil early on Monday morning.
After a light practice on Monday, the head coach of the national team, Dunga, will prepare an inter-squad scrimmage in order to observe his athletes and make a starting line-up for Wednesday's game against Venezuela. Kaka, Luis Fabiano and Gilberto Silva are expected to be ready to play.
