“It’s not simple”; Alexsander’s injury has 2 scenarios at Fluminense and possible time off is exposed

Fluminense

The Fluminense faced Cruzeiro at the Mineirão and, with the 2-0 victory over the team from Minas Gerais, scored three more points in the Brazilian Championship. However, the match also caused a problem for the Tricolor medical department, with Alexsander leaving the duel after an athlete from Cruzeiro fell on his knee.

Reporter Victor Lessa updated the player’s situation and stated that, although the case is not seen as serious, the treatment is not simple and may require a considerable time off, in two exposed scenarios.

The trend is that Alexsander has suffered a strain in the medial collateral ligament of his left knee. Flu will perform a battery of tests on the steering wheel, however, the time off in two situations was designed. In case the medical department gives the hammer for a conservative treatment (without the need for surgery), Alexsander can recover in 45 or 90 days. However, if the situation is milder, with a grade 1 injury, he may be available within a month. The information also reverberated on the NetFlu portal.

In any case, Alexsander should not be activated in the duels of Nense against Flamengo, for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Tricolor das Laranjeiras faces the archrival on May 16th, the second match takes place on June 1st.
