Ganso suffers grade 2 calf injury, out for up to six weeks for Fluminense | OneFootball

Fluminense has gained a significant concern for the continuation of the season. Midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso has been diagnosed with a grade 2 injury in his left calf and will be absent from the team for an estimated period of four to six weeks.

The injury occurred in the first half of the match between Fluminense and Corinthians last Saturday at Maracanã. Ganso was replaced by Lucho Acosta.

The number 10 has already started treatment at the Carlos Castilho Training Center and did not travel to Buenos Aires for the match this Tuesday (16) against Lanús, for the Copa Sudamericana.

His absence is a significant loss for the Tricolor, which is simultaneously competing in the Brasileirão, the Copa do Brasil, and the Copa Sudamericana. In the squad, Renato Gaúcho has options like Lucho Acosta, Lima, and Lezcano to fill the role in the creative sector.

Fluminense will take the field shortly, at 9:30 PM, at La Fortaleza, against Lanús, in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana.
