Flamengo defender Éder Militão has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury during training on Thursday.
The Brazilian defender was involved in a collision with another player during a training session at the club's training ground, which led to him suffering a serious knee injury. He underwent surgery on Friday and is currently recovering from his injuries.
The news comes as a major blow to Flamengo, who were already struggling to cope with the loss of several key players due to injury or suspension. The team will now have to rely heavily on their remaining squad to fill the void left by Militão's absence.
Éder Militão has been one of the most important players for Flamengo this season, helping them to win the Campeonato Carioca title and reach the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores. His injury is a significant setback for the team, and it remains to be seen how long he will be out for.
Despite the severity of the injury,Serie A Stadium Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus has expressed confidence that Militão will make a full recovery. "We need to wait until we know more about the situation," Jesus said. "But I believe that Éder will recover."
It remains to be seen when Militão will return to action, but it is clear that the team will miss him while he recovers. In the meantime, Flamengo will have to rely on their remaining players to fill the void left by the injured defender.
