Vasco scrap ‘special operation’, national team regular ruled out of match | OneFootball

Vasco’s coaching staff and management have changed plans and decided to rest right-back Paulo Henrique. The player, who started and scored a goal for the Brazilian National Team in the friendly against Japan, will not face Fortaleza this Wednesday (14). The “special operation” to bring him back through a logistical effort has been canceled.

90-minute performance for the National Team prompted the decision

The decision to rest the athlete was made after he played the entire match for Brazil against Japan on Tuesday morning, in Tokyo. His full participation in the game changed the initial plan, which had counted on his presence in Ceará.

Two other factors were decisive for the veto. The first was the high risk of a muscle injury, as Paulo Henrique would have had less than 24 hours of rest between matches. The second was the enormous wear and tear from the long trip back from Japan. As a result, the club opted for prudence.

Logistics for Vasco’s other full-back

While Paulo Henrique won’t come, Puma Rodríguez’s presence is confirmed. The plan for the return of the Uruguayan full-back, who played on Monday, remains unchanged. He is expected in Fortaleza and should start in his position.

Paulo Henrique will now return to Rio to rest and will be available for the derby against Fluminense.
