Grêmio player discharged after incident in Brasileirão clash v Flamengo | OneFootball

What happened to João Gabriel, Grêmio’s left back?

Grêmio left back João Gabriel came off worse in a challenge for the ball with Carrascal during the match between Flamengo and Grêmio in the Brasileirão. Because of the incident, the player from the team from Rio Grande do Sul had to spend the night under observation in the hospital, but he was discharged this Monday (11).

João Gabriel suffered a cut to the face after Carrascal’s boot accidentally struck the Grêmio full-back in the face. At the time, the player was even briefly unconscious, but later responded normally. After the play, the full-back left the field and underwent medical tests at Moinhos do Vento Hospital.

It is important to note that the diagnosis found only the facial cut suffered by João Gabriel. Therefore, since Grêmio did not activate the concussion protocol, the left back is already eligible to play in the team’s next match against Confiança on Wednesday (13) in the Copa do Brasil.
