Duo was sidelined due to muscle injuries

The two experienced players had been missing from the team due to muscle injuries. Tchê Tchê suffered a left thigh injury, while Thiago Mendes was recovering from a problem in his right calf. Both recovered successfully during the FIFA break and are already training with the rest of the squad.

The news of their possible return was released by the Corujão Vascaíno profile.

Return is crucial for Vasco

The return of the duo is seen as essential to provide more options and quality to the squad’s most lacking sector at the moment. With the serious injury to Jair, who will not play again this year, and uncertainties regarding Paulinho’s condition, the midfield had been relying on young players and improvisations.

The return of Tchê Tchê, an undisputed starter, and Thiago Mendes, signed to be one of the team’s leaders, gives Fernando Diniz the chance to build a more robust and experienced midfield for the remainder of the Brazilian Championship.
