Medical update: Ferreirinha, Luan, Ferraresi doubts for Libertadores | OneFootball

In addition to the defeat, the classic match against Santos on Sunday (22) at Vila Belmiro, for the Brazilian Championship, left three concerns that could turn into problems for the return leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals against LDU, at 7pm (Brasília time) on Thursday (25), at Morumbi. Tricolor needs to overturn a two-goal disadvantage from the Ecuadorians to qualify.

The winger Ferreirinha, the defender Ferraresi and the midfielder Luan left the field with physical problems and will need to undergo a more thorough evaluation by the medical department.

Ferreirinha had to leave the field on a stretcher early in the second half after colliding with goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão in a play.

Despite the scare, however, the initial assessment is that it was just a momentary accident. Ferreirinha felt cramps, but should not be a problem for the match against LDU, even being favored to start in the confrontation.

Luan was substituted feeling pain in the adductor muscle of his right thigh. It's the most serious case. The player is being evaluated on Monday morning (22) at CT da Barra Funda and, unfortunately, the tendency is that he will join the list of absentees for Thursday.

Finally, Ferraresi. The Venezuelan needed to have two stitches in his face minutes before the classic, after colliding with Marcos Antônio during warm-up. It's another case of a momentary scare, after all the player was normally on the bench and even joked about the situation to the reporters of 'Sportv', the TV channel that broadcasted the game.
