Vasco ‘to be without’ Andrés Gómez for Olimpia on Thursday | OneFootball

Vasco will be without forward Andrés Gómez for Thursday 13 against Olimpia in the Copa Sudamericana last 16. According to NT Vascaínos, he is undergoing intensive treatment and is a doubt for Sunday 16 against Santos in the Campeonato Brasileiro.

The issue is not regarded as serious by club staff, but internal assessments point to the need to rest him to ensure full functional recovery. The hierarchy and medical team are not rushing the treatment stages.

The caution aims to protect the player before a decisive run of fixtures next week. Staff assess that selecting him without medical clearance could aggravate the problem, potentially ruling him out for longer during a crucial sequence.

His involvement on Sunday will depend solely on how he responds in training. The final call will weigh day-to-day pain levels and whether it is safe for him to return to high-intensity work.

Gómez missed the 0-0 draw at Bahia last Sunday after taking part in warm-up tests at Arena Fonte Nova. He felt discomfort in his left foot during movements, after which the medical staff and coaches vetoed his participation.
