Soteldo may miss Fluminense v Vasco in Copa Sul-Americana, check it out | OneFootball

Besides the defeat in the first leg, Fluminense received more bad news on Thursday night. Venezuelan forward Soteldo left the field ten minutes into the second half, feeling pain in his left leg.

The forward will still be evaluated by Fluminense, which will update his physical condition in the coming days. However, with the return match scheduled for this Sunday, there is a chance Soteldo may be absent from the decision.

Soteldo has been an important player in Fluminense's recent games. Before the match against Vasco, the Venezuelan participated in four goals in three games. In the classic against the Gigante da Colina, the forward was one of the most active players, putting pressure on the defense of the cross-maltese team.

Old Problem?

If the injury is confirmed, it will be Soteldo's sixth injury this season. The forward was injured three times while playing for Santos and twice more at Fluminense.

In fact, before the Club World Cup, Soteldo arrived injured at Fluminense. While playing for Venezuela, he suffered a grade 2 muscle injury in his left thigh and could only play in the World Cup from the quarterfinals onward.
