Center back Domingos Duarte suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last Saturday (19) during the match against Internacional in the Brazilian Championship at MorumBIS, and will have to undergo surgery for ligament reconstruction.
The player went straight from the stadium to the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital, where he underwent the initial tests, accompanied by professionals from the club’s Medical Department.
Last Monday (21), Domingos underwent physiotherapy treatment at REFFIS Plus, and this Tuesday (22) he returned to the hospital for further evaluations and a consultation with Dr. Moisés Cohen, who determined that surgery was necessary. The procedure will be carried out this Wednesday (23) at the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital.
Right back Aurélio Buta will also undergo a surgical procedure this Wednesday (23), with Dr. Moisés Cohen’s team, at the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital. The player, who had been feeling pain in his right knee, will undergo surgery to repair a meniscus injury.
During São Paulo’s week of preparation for the match against Atlético Mineiro on September 5 at MorumBIS, Buta reported pain in the area. The player had been undergoing conservative treatment at REFFIS Plus and even took part in physical transition activities on the pitch, but did not make the expected progress. As a result, he returned to the specialist, who determined that surgical intervention was necessary.
