Injury Updates: Marquinhos Update in Brazil's São Paulo FC
Brazilian soccer legend Marquinhos has undergone surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon, which is expected to sideline him for at least two months.
The injury comes just days after the 41-year-old midfielder suffered a serious ankle injury during a training session on Saturday night that saw him fall off his bicycle and sustain injuries to both legs. The severity of the injury was not immediately clear but it is believed to be a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Marquinhos' absence from the squad could cause significant disruption as he has been crucial to Brazil's success this season, scoring 25 goals and providing assist to his teammates. However, with the injury looming, there will likely be some changes to the squad line-up.
Brazil have already announced their squad for the upcoming Copa America,Campeonato Brasileiro Action so it remains to be seen how they will approach the tournament with Marquinhos out of the lineup. It is unclear whether the Brazilian Football Association (ABF) will make any changes to the squad or if they will simply stick to their current plans.
It is also possible that Marquinhos may undergo further treatment before returning to play, although it is still early days and no official confirmation has been released yet. Regardless of what happens, it is clear that the injury will impact Marquinhos' career in the sport.
