The player underwent about three weeks of physical therapy to reduce the inflammation before having surgery last Friday. He has already begun the recovery process.At 18, Matheus recently renewed his contract with the club through the end of 2030, being one of the top names of the 2007 generation.This is the second serious injury to the same knee in a short period of time. In 2024, the player suffered a similar problem during a training session at CT Carlos Castilho and was sidelined for about a year, returning to the pitch only in November 2025, still with the under-20 team.
