Santos doctor gives update on Arão, expects his return “soon” | OneFootball

The coordinator of the Health Center of Santos, Rodrigo Zogaib, updated on Friday the situation of Willian Arão. The midfielder has been sidelined since July 25 due to a calf discomfort.

Shortly after arriving at Peixe, in his first training sessions, the player presented an injury in the soleus muscle, in the calf. He quickly recovered and was listed for the matches against Flamengo (he came in at the end) and Mirassol (he was only on the bench).

In the following training sessions, however, he again felt discomfort in the area. After exams, the persistence of edema was diagnosed.

“This injury, although small, is relevant because it involves an essential muscle for movement. In addition, Arão had no previous history of muscle injuries, which required special care in the recovery process. Given this, a more cautious plan was established, based on medical analyses and guidelines,” commented the doctor.

At the moment, Arão is in the final stage of recovery. Thus, the hope is that he will be available from next week, before the classic against São Paulo. Against Atlético-MG, this Sunday, the midfielder remains out.

“Currently, Arão shows good progress, with continuous treatment and training, already in the final stage of recovery, with a return to field training. The expectation is that he will soon be available for the coach,” Zogaib concluded.
