Fluminense consider delaying Igor Rabello surgery until season's end, why | OneFootball

Fluminense is discussing when Igor Rabello will undergo surgery to treat an acromioclavicular dislocation in his left shoulder. The procedure is considered necessary, but the club is assessing whether the operation will be carried out immediately or only at the end of the season.

According to journalist Pedro Brandão of Lance, the uncertainty exists because, despite the injury, the defender’s shoulder remains functional. In other words, Igor has not completely lost movement and is still able to use the injured limb. Because of this, there is a possibility that the player could continue playing and leave the surgery until after the season ends.

The other option is to perform the procedure now, which would allow Igor to begin his recovery period right away. Fluminense has not yet made a decision.

The injury happened in the 3-2 win over Palmeiras last Saturday at the Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship. Seven minutes into the second half, Igor fell on his own arm and had to be substituted.
