Rio – Fluminense announced this Friday afternoon (26) that midfielder André was diagnosed with an injury to the medial collateral ligament of his right knee, following an imaging test. Furthermore, the club reported that the player’s anterior cruciate ligament is preserved, as well as the meniscus. No surgery will be necessary.
André’s injury is the same one that midfielder Alexsander suffered last year. At the time, before getting injured again, the tendency was that ‘Levado’ would miss Tricolor for at least a month.

André risked a shot at the goal, in the 42nd minute of the first half, after receiving a pass from Martinelli. When it came time to finish, striker Iturbe shared it with number 7, who got the worst of it.
The midfielder left the field crying to make room for Lima. After leaving the Nueva Olla stadium, in Paraguay, the player needed crutches to get around.
André’s injury worries Fluminense, who are dealing with a series of injuries at the start of the season. Currently five players are in the medical department. Thiago Santos and Gabriel Pires are working on the transition and could evolve in the coming days. Lelê suffered a serious knee injury and will undergo surgery. Finally, defender Marlon has been recovering from arthroscopic surgery.
