The Fluminense defender suffered a blow to the heel of his left foot and had to be substituted against Atlético-MG
During the match against Atlético-MG, in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, Thiago Silva, of Fluminense, felt pain in the heel of his left foot and left the field at halftime to make way for Antônio Carlos. As a result, the player has already started treatment at home, according to his wife Belle Silva’s Instagram stories.
The defender limped out of the Maracanã and spent the entire second half on the bench, cheering on his teammates, who emerged victorious. Lima scored in the 41st minute of the final phase, the goal that gives the Tricolore the advantage to decide next week, away from home.
This Thursday (19), the club’s medical office will evaluate the defender, who suffered a blow after jumping for a headbutt. In order not to harm the team or worsen the situation, he had to leave the field, but Antônio Carlos did the job.
Since returning to Tricolor, Thiago has played 11 games, scored one goal and has not suffered any injuries. He turns 40 on Sunday and arrives in good physical shape, bringing quality and experience to the Tricolor defensive sector.
Finally, after having gained the lead against Galo, Fluminense will try to access the semifinals of the Libertadores next Wednesday (25), at 19:00 (Brasilia time), at the Arena MRV. Before that, the team will face the leader of the Brazilian championship, Botafogo, on Saturday, at 18:30 (Brasilia time), at the Maracanã.
