Sidelined for the rest of the season, Jair spoke for the first time after the surgery. He showed a lot of faith and resilience to face the rehabilitation process. The midfielder stated:

The surgery was necessary to correct the severe multiligament injury suffered in the game against Sport. The diagnosis pointed to a partial rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial collateral ligament, in addition to a meniscus injury. The recovery time for this type of injury will only make him available next year.

This is the second drama experienced by the player, who in 2024 ruptured the ligament of his other knee, the left one.
