On loan from Flamengo, midfielder Victor Hugo will be unavailable for Santos in the Brasileirão. This is because the club from Baixada Santista confirmed, this Tuesday (23), an injury to his right thigh.

“Midfielder Victor Hugo underwent tests and was diagnosed with an injury to the adductor muscle of his right thigh. The player has already started treatment at CEPRAF under the guidance of the Santos FC Medical Department,” highlights the Santos medical report.

Thus, the injury explains why Victor Hugo left the field early in Santos’ win over São Paulo last Sunday (21). The 21-year-old player had to be replaced by Barreal still in the first half of the derby.

Did Flamengo loan out Victor Hugo?

The midfielder is experiencing the second loan of his career. Developed in the youth ranks of Flamengo, the player played for Göztepe (TUR). However, he returned to Brazil after 35 games, three goals, and one assist in Turkey.

The defensive midfielder almost left permanently for a club in Portugal. However, Flamengo backed out of the deal, as they did not want to let the player go for free. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro chose to loan him to Santos until July 2026.

In which match will the midfielder be absent?

At the São Paulo club, the injury occurred in Victor Hugo’s second match. The player will miss Santos’ game against Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday (28). However, there is no set date for the player’s return to the pitch.

Will there be Victor Hugo vs Flamengo?

Without confirmation of Victor Hugo’s presence, Flamengo and Santos will only face each other on November 8, in the Brasileirão. Before that, however, the Rubro-Negro is focused on Estudiantes (ARG), for the Libertadores, this Thursday (25).
