The Sao Paulo medical staff advised the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) that Caio had suffered a strain of the adductor muscle in his right thigh.
The 23-year-old is unavailable for Brazil's next two qualifiers, with Gremio defender Geromel called up by coach Tite in his place.
Geromel, 30, has never played for Brazil at any level.
