Brenner suffers foot injury and is ruled out for Vasco | OneFootball

Forward Brenner has had a left foot injury confirmed and will be unavailable for Vasco. The player underwent diagnostic tests earlier this week after suffering a blow in the match against Bahia, a game in which he was substituted at halftime. The medical evaluation ruled out a bone fracture, but detected structural damage that requires the player to be sidelined.

Recovery outlook and estimated timeline

Vasco's board has not announced an official timeline for Brenner’s return, saying it will provide an update on his clinical condition on Thursday (13), before the match against Olimpia. However, reporting by ge indicates that the recovery period will be at least three weeks, a timeframe that could be extended after consultation with a specialist to determine the course of treatment.

Journalist Venê Casagrande has reported that the recovery period is expected to be longer, indicating that the player could be out for at least 45 days.

Impact on Vasco’s attack

The physical issue interrupts the striker’s positive run in the starting lineup at São Januário. The player reached his high point of the season with a decisive performance against Fluminense, when he scored two goals in the 3-1 win that secured the club’s place in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.

The injury removes the player from the attacking unit just as he was establishing himself as the undisputed starter up front.
