Cruzeiro update on Cássio’s condition after concussion against Atlético | OneFootball

Cruzeiro announced on Thursday afternoon (16) details about the health status of goalkeeper Cássio, who had to be substituted in the first half of the match against Atlético-MG, held on Wednesday night (15), for the Brazilian Championship.

The substitution occurred due to the concussion protocol, after an incident where the goalkeeper collided with defender William inside the area. Cássio received treatment on the field and showed dizziness and bleeding from the mouth, which led to the decision to substitute him. At the 26th minute, Léo Aragão took his place.

According to the club, the number 1 is doing well and will remain under medical observation in the coming days. The club's medical department will conduct daily reassessments, following the recommended procedures for concussion cases.

The team's next match will be on Saturday (18), against Fortaleza, at 9 PM (Brasília time), at Mineirão. Due to the protocol, Léo Aragão is expected to continue as the goalkeeper, since the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) requires that, in cases of concussion, the athlete must stay off the field for at least five days.
