Hernia? The issue that could rule Matheus Bidu out for Corinthians | OneFootball

Left-back Matheus Bidu could become another absentee for Corinthians in the final rounds of the Brazilian Championship. The player has been complaining of pain in the pubic area and has been playing through it. Corinthians’ medical department is monitoring Bidu’s situation and is considering surgery to correct the problem.

However, the club’s medical staff is still investigating the cause of the full-back’s pain. Matheus Bidu is expected to undergo further tests in the coming days to reach a precise diagnosis. Still, the symptoms are similar to those of a hernia, which is currently being treated as the main suspicion.

Therefore, it is important to note that the player took part in only a few full training sessions with the club during this FIFA international break. Matheus Bidu continues to complain of significant pain in the area and could even miss the match against Internacional at Beira-Rio when the Brazilian Championship resumes.

If the full-back’s problem is indeed a hernia, he is unlikely to avoid surgery. However, the medical department and the football department will determine the best time for the player to undergo the procedure. That is because the recovery period could last around 30 days.

Matheus Bidu may continue playing through the pain

Matheus Bidu is seen as one of the key players in coach Fernando Diniz’s squad. In addition, the manager has already highlighted the issue when setting up the team due to the lack of options in the thin squad. Corinthians went through the last transfer window unable to sign players, as the club is dealing with a FIFA transfer ban.

As a result, even if he has to undergo surgery, the tendency is for Matheus Bidu to keep playing through the pain until the end of the season. Corinthians are currently in 14th place with 32 points. The team has suffered six straight defeats in the Brasileirão and is at risk of falling into the relegation zone.
