Vasco starlet suffers knee ligament tear, sidelined for up to nine months | OneFootball

Vasco received sad news this Friday (31). The midfielder Euder, a standout of the Under-20 team, tore the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) of his right knee and is expected to be away from the field for about nine months. The information was released by journalist João Pedro Isidro.

The injury occurred after a tackle during the match against América-MG last Wednesday, in Belo Horizonte, for the Brazilian Championship of the category.

The 19-year-old player had been standing out as one of the main names of Vasco's youth system this season. Wearing the number 8 jersey for the team in the Copinha, Euder joined Vasco in April 2024, after stints in the youth categories of Sport, Flamengo, and Novo Hamburgo-RS. His contract with the club runs until March 2027.

The injury is the same that has already sidelined other players from Vasco's professional squad, such as Jair, Paulinho, and David.

The recovery time usually varies between eight and ten months. At Vasco, for example, Jair was injured in February 2024 and only returned in October, while Paulinho and David also faced long recovery periods.

Known for his technique and physical strength, Euder draws attention for his modern and complete style of play, inspired by Paul Pogba, the World Cup champion with France in 2018.

Vasco is expected to begin the surgical and physiotherapy process for the athlete in the coming weeks. The expectation is that Euder will return to the field only in the second half of 2026.
