Nathan Fernandes suffers arm fracture, set to miss out for Botafogo | OneFootball

Botafogo has suffered a setback for the rest of the season. This is because the forward Nathan Fernandes fractured his forearm in training with the Brazilian U-20 team.

The player was unselected and will undergo surgery this Saturday, under the command of Botafogo's medical department. The Rio club has not set a deadline for the athlete's return to the field, which is usually two months.

With this, coach Davide Ancelotti loses an option already thinking about the clash against Vasco, for the return of the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup.

The classic takes place next Thursday, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Nilton. Santos.

Check out the official statement from Botafogo:

The athlete Nathan Fernandes suffered a fracture in the right forearm during a training with the Brazilian U-20 team. The athlete was unselected and will undergo surgery this Saturday, already under the care of Botafogo's Health and Performance Core.
