Fluminense striker suffers right knee sprain | OneFootball

Fluminense announced this Saturday that forward Matheus Reis suffered a sprain in his right knee.

The injury occurred during last Wednesday's training session. The 18-year-old player has already started physiotherapy to reduce inflammation in the area. The club's Medical Department is awaiting the completion of the process to determine the best medical course of action.

Matheus Reis joined Fluminense in 2018, when he was just 10 years old. A Mexican naturalized Brazilian, the player became the South American U-17 champion with the Brazilian National Team at 16 years old in 2023, and was called up the following season by Mexico's U-18 team.

The forward, who renewed his contract until the end of 2030, made his professional debut in the 2026 Campeonato Carioca. So far, he has played four games, starting two, without scoring goals or providing assists.

Without Matheus Reis, Fluminense will take the field this Sunday, facing Flamengo in the final of the Campeonato Carioca. The match will kick off at Maracanã at 6 p.m. (Brasília time).
