Midfield was the most affected sector

The wave of injuries hit the heart of the team hard. With the exception of full-back Paulo Henrique, all the other six athletes who were injured in August play in midfield. The sector was completely decimated, forcing coach Fernando Diniz to make constant changes and improvisations.

The last time the club had suffered such a high number of casualties in a single month was in September 2020.
