Overview
- Spanish outlet AS reported the knee injury, with Sportbild, Ran, and SPORT1 corroborating the setback.
- He will miss Santos’ final three league matches, with the team in the relegation places and one point from safety.
- It is his fourth significant absence of 2025 after multiple hamstring problems that already cost him 17 games.
- He previously missed roughly 340 days following an ACL rupture sustained in late 2023.
- The layoff further jeopardizes a Brazil return for 2026 World Cup consideration, as coach Carlo Ancelotti has emphasized selecting players in strong physical condition; his last cap was in October 2023.
