Another Vasco starlet suffers an ACL injury | OneFootball

Vasco’s youth team standout defender Kaique Ferreira has suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will need to undergo surgery in the coming days. The information was confirmed this Thursday after journalist Emerson Rocha raised the alert, having investigated the case following the final of the M2 U-16 Cup, played last Sunday against Cruzeiro.

The injury occurred during the tournament’s final and requires surgical intervention, which should take place within ten days. Recovery time for this type of injury ranges from nine to twelve months, which will likely keep the defender out for much of the next youth season.

Kaique, 16 years old, is considered one of the great prospects of Vasco’s generation. Champion of the U-17 Brazil Cup, the Minas Gerais native has already trained with the professional squad under the observation of Fernando Diniz and has a contract with the club until July 2028.

Vasco has not yet made an official statement, but expectations are that the player will immediately begin the process of preparing for surgery and subsequent rehabilitation.
