Corinthians midfielder injured, misses Brasileirão match | OneFootball

Corinthians has suffered another important setback for the remainder of the season. On Monday, September 15, the club announced that Argentine midfielder Rodrigo Garro has suffered a grade 2 injury to his right calf.

“Midfielder Rodrigo Garro has been diagnosed with a grade 2 injury to his right calf. He was removed from the squad for Corinthians’ victory over Fluminense last Saturday (13), at Maracanã, in the Brazilian Championship, after feeling discomfort during the warm-up,” the club said in an official statement. The player has already begun treatment with the medical department.

Garro traveled with the squad to Rio de Janeiro and was set to be an option on the bench. However, he felt pain during the warm-up and was left out of the match. After the game, coach Dorival Júnior admitted concern over the Argentine’s situation.

Due to the severity of the injury, the midfielder is expected to be sidelined for at least a month. As a result, he will miss the team’s upcoming Brasileirão matches against Sport, Flamengo, Internacional, and Mirassol.

With this, the Timão medical department now has seven players in recovery: Rodrigo Garro (grade 2 injury to the right calf), Memphis Depay (edema in the right hamstring), Luiz Gustavo Bahia (edema in the left ankle), Raniele (injury to the left hamstring), André Carrillo (injury to the ligaments in the left ankle), Charles (knee pain), and José Martínez (trauma to the left ankle).

To make up for the Argentine’s absence, Dorival Júnior has already used Breno Bidon and Vitinho in the midfield role. In addition to them, Dieguinho and Romero can also be used in the position. Another alternative is Gui Amorim, a youth player recently registered for the Brazilian Championship.
