The left-back Marlon, from Grêmio, underwent surgery on Friday afternoon to correct a fracture in his right ankle. The operation took place at the Moinhos de Vento Hospital in Porto Alegre and was considered a success.

Marlon was injured during the second half of the match against Vitória last Thursday at the Grêmio Arena. He got his foot caught in the turf and ended up falling on his own ankle, causing the fracture.

The scene worried Grêmio fans. The player was taken off the field in an ambulance and was taken directly to the hospital. The estimated recovery time is five months.
