Find out when Thiago Silva should return to act from Fluminense

Fluminense will face a considerable minimum in their defensive system in the coming weeks. The club confirmed that the defender Thiago Silva suffered a muscle injury of two degrees in the back of the right thigh and therefore removes the team for an estimated period of four weeks.




The injury was identified after the game against Grêmio on Saturday (2), when the defender reported pain still on the field. Subsequently, the image exams confirmed the seriousness of the problem. Tricolor Das Laranjeiras therefore officially officials that the player has already started the recovery process at the Carlos Castilho training center.

Given this scenario, Thiago Silva will lose important commitments in different competitions. The absence has already been felt on Wednesday (06), in the decisive duel against Internacional, valid for the return of the 16 of the Brazilian cup. The defender will not be available for the comparison of the 16 -American Copa Round of 16 against América de Cali, scheduled for 12 and 19 August.

In addition to direct elimination matches, Shirt 3 will also miss the team in four rounds of the Brazilian championship. It will be out against Bahia, Fortaleza, Red Bull Bragantino and Santos. The impact is even greater because another defender, Ignacio, also recovers from injuries and should return only within six weeks.

With this, the coach Renato Gaúcho will have less options to climb the defense. Manel and Freytes are the most likely names to compose the duo in the next games. Thiago Santos, who acted as a steering wheel, can be moved if necessary, although this is not its original function.

Since he returned to the club in 2024, Thiago Silva has been a constant presence in initial training. So far he has played 27 games of the season, for a total of 12 wins, six draws and nine losses, which represent a 51% use with him on the field.

Therefore, while the defender is still in treatment, Fluminense will have to reorganize his defensive sector to follow competitive on different fronts. The club’s expectation is that Thiago will be available again from September.
