Injury update: Lyanco out with serious injury, to miss 2026 games | OneFootball

Atlético announced on Thursday (09) an update on the situation of the players who left the field during the victory over Sport last Wednesday (08) at Arena MRV. The main concern is defender Lyanco, who suffered a rupture of the left Achilles tendon and will undergo surgery in the coming days.

The defender had to be substituted early in the match and left the field supported by doctors and teammates.

Imaging exams conducted in the morning confirmed the severity of the injury. The expectation is that the player will miss the rest of the season and also part of 2026, due to the long recovery period required for this type of injury.

Another player who left the game with pain was forward Rony. The athlete underwent exams that revealed an edema in the right thigh adductor. He has already started treatment with the physiotherapy department and is under daily monitoring.

Atlético also informed that defender Ivan Román, who has been experiencing pain in his left hand after a trauma and was released by the Chilean national team's technical staff, will be re-evaluated upon his return to Belo Horizonte.

With the recent problems, coach Jorge Sampaoli faces more headaches in assembling Galo's defensive system, which returns to the field next Wednesday (15) to face Cruzeiro at Arena MRV for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.
