Vasco set recovery date for one of their players | OneFootball

Midfielder Jair has already started his physiotherapy at Vasco da Gama, but the road to recovery will be long and difficult. A specialist consulted by Manchete Esportiva detailed the severity of the player’s injury. He suffered what is known as the “Unhappy Triad of the Knee,” one of the most feared injuries among athletes, and will be sidelined for up to a year.

Specialist explains the severity of the problem

The “Unhappy Triad” is the name given to the simultaneous rupture of three important parts of the knee: the anterior cruciate ligament, the medial collateral ligament, and the meniscus. Physiotherapist João Victor explained that recovery is a slow process divided into phases. The first, right now, is to “reduce this pain and swelling.”

After the initial phase, the work focuses on strengthening the muscles. Only between the third and fourth month, if all goes well, Jair will begin to take his first jogs on the treadmill. After that, there will still be a long stage of strength and jumping tests before the so-called “return to sport.”

Vasco may have to wait up to a year

The specialist was clear about the timeframe, based on what science says for this type of case.

Therefore, Vasco fans will need to be patient. What is certain is that the club will provide all the support so that our warrior can have another “new beginning” and return “better than before,” as he himself promised.
