Matheus Reis suffers knee sprain, ruled out for Fluminense | OneFootball

Forward Matheus Reis suffered a sprain in his right knee during last Wednesday’s (4th) training session and will be sidelined for Fluminense.

The player has already begun physiotherapy treatment to reduce inflammation in the area. The club’s medical department is monitoring his progress to determine the best course of action. The situation is concerning because the injury occurred in the same knee where the athlete tore his anterior cruciate ligament in November 2024. At that time, the youngster underwent surgery and was out of action for about a year.

Matheus Reis returned to play in November of last year, initially with the under-20 team. In 2026, he began receiving his first opportunities with the professional squad during the Campeonato Carioca. So far, he has played in four matches, including a full 90-minute game in the loss to Boavista.

At 18 years old, the forward is considered one of the most promising recent talents to come out of Fluminense’s youth academy. Born in 2007, he is one of the standouts of the so-called “Esquadrilha 07,” a generation of Xerém Boys who won both the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Brasileiro titles in their category in 2024.
