Player is out of the direct clash against Vitória

The first consequence of the injury is Cuesta's confirmed absence from the match against Palmeiras this Wednesday, for which he wasn't even listed. Besides this game, the report states that it is unlikely the defender will be fit to face Vitória on October 5, in a direct clash in the fight against relegation.

The absence of the Colombian, who quickly became one of the pillars of the defensive system, is a tough blow.

Vasco will use the FIFA Date to intensify treatment

The good news is that the calendar might help. Vasco will take advantage of the break for the FIFA Date, which happens after the game against Vitória, to focus on the athlete's recovery. The medical department will intensify treatment during this period without games.

The main goal is to have Cuesta fully recovered and in top condition for the match against Fortaleza, scheduled for October 15. The goal, therefore, is set so that the absence of the "sheriff" does not extend for too long.
