Alexander suffers knee ligament injury, blow for Atlético-MG | OneFootball

After undergoing imaging exams, Atlético-MG confirmed this Monday that midfielder Alexander suffered a complete rupture of the medial collateral ligament in his knee. The injury occurred after a sprain during the match against Pouso Alegre last Saturday. The club will adopt a conservative treatment, and therefore, surgical intervention will not be necessary.

Alexander left the field at the 43rd minute of the first half, after a hard tackle by Magé in the midfield. He had to be taken off on a stretcher and, in tears, was substituted by Vitor Hugo.

Thus, the midfielder joins Lyanco on the club's list of absentees. The defender is still recovering from an Achilles tendon operation and has not played since October 2025.
