“Pelo exposto, DEFIRO A TUTELA DE URGÊNCIA, para: a) suspender o prosseguimento do REEF (ATOrd 0010745-06.2014.5.01.0031); b) suspender a execução da garantia apresentada no PEPT; c) suspender toda e qualquer medida constritiva naqueles autos em desfavor do Requerente, até ulterior decisão acerca da concessão do Regime Centralizado de Execuções, nos moldes da Lei 14.193/2021; e d) determinar ao clube requerente efetuar o depósito judicial, como requerido na peça de ingresso” – conclusão da decisão desta quarta-feira.

O vice jurídico do Vasco, José Cândido Bulhões, analisou a decisão da desembargadora e disse que o Vasco irá elaborar um plano de pagamento dos credores e buscar dar conta de todos os seus pagamentos previstos na lei. Ele ressaltou que a decisão foi importante para o futebol brasileiro como um todo, já que coloca uma decisão que ajuda os clubes a resolverem seus problemas e endividamento.

– A decisão é muito importante em vários aspectos. Primeiro que ao suspender a execução de R$93,5 milhões permite que o clube pague os salários, seus fornecedores e obrigações correntes. Além disso, ela cria as obrigações necessárias para que o clube elabore o plano de pagamento dos credores previsto na lei 14.193 permitindo assim que o clube siga em frente com a centralização das execuções conforme o requerido a presidente do tribunal – disse, e em seguida explicou:

– Na semana passada, o Vasco teve requerido o direito da centralização das execuções com base na lei 14.193, mas só isso não bastava. Era preciso que suspendessem a execução forçada de mais de R$ 93 milhões porque isso inviabilizaria até mesmo a elaboração do plano de pagamento dos credores. Afinal, como o clube vai montar um plano par apagar seus credores, se ele foi executado de R$93 milhões. Ficaria inviável – acrescentou, e emendou.

– Havia também uma penhora de R$ 24 milhões do contrato com a Globo que é a maior fonte de receita do clube no momento. Então, essa penhora na Globo por si só já comprometia o funcionamento do clube das obrigações correntes do clube. Então, a decisão foi importante, pois o clube consegue programar o pagamento de forma organizada sem comprometer o funcionamento do clube. Com a decisão de hoje, ficam suspensas todas as decisões em curso e o Vasco passa a destinar 20% de sua receita mensal corrente para o plano de pagamentos para o pagamento de credores apresentado – finalizou.

Entenda o caso

Após o Vasco ser excluído do Ato Trabalhista, o gestor de centralização do TRT-1, Fernando Reis de Abreu, pediu ao clube o Regime Especial de Execução Forçada (Reef). Com isso, cobrou R$ 93 milhões em dívidas trabalhistas com ex-funcionários. O clube inicialmente tentou suspender essa decisão, porém o pedido foi negado pela desembargadora.

No dia 10 de agosto, a direção do Gigante da Colina fez o pedido de instauração do Regime Centralizado de Execuções (RCE), algo previsto na nova lei brasileira voltada ao clube-empresa. Por meio dela, os clubes têm direito de realizar uma centralização das cobranças visando evitar algum tipo de penhoras individuais e fazer o pagamento em no máximo seis anos com o repasse de 20% da receita mensal. O clube criticou a decisão da justiça na época.

Na época,a desembargadora Edith Maria Correa Tourinho, presidente do Tribunal Regional do Trabalho da 1ª Região, reconheceu o direito do clube em centralizar a execução de todas as suas dívidas trabalhistas. A magistrada também definiu um prazo de 60 dias para que o Cruz-Maltino apresente um plano de pagamento. Dessa forma, o Vasco terá dentro de 60 dias para apresentar um plano oficial de pagamento para que a magistrada analise e decida a sua validade.

Kapil Dev stable after undergoing heart surgery for a blocked artery

The former India captain had complained of uneasiness on Thursday

Kapil Dev, India’s greatest allrounder and their 1983-World-Cup-winning captain, has successfully undergone an angioplasty. Dev, who is 61 years old, is understood to be in a stable condition following the procedure, which took place on Thursday evening.According to , who spoke to Dev’s wife Romi, the former India captain had complained of uneasiness on Thursday. At the recommendation of the family doctor Dev went to hospital where it was determined he had a blocked artery in the heart.An angioplasty is a medical procedure that widens blocked or narrowed coronary arteries – the main blood vessels supplying the heart.In a statement issued on Friday, Fortis Escorts, the hospital where he underwent the procedure, said Dev is in the ICU but “stable”. The statement said Dev arrived at Fortis at 1 am on Friday complaining of chest pain.”He was evaluated and an emergency coronary Angioplasty was performed by Dr. Atul Mathur, Director of Cardiology Department, in the middle of night,” the statement said. “Currently, he is admitted in ICU and under close supervision of Dr. Atul Mathur and his team. Mr. Kapil Dev is stable now and he is expected to get discharged in couple of days.”Many cricketers wished him a speedy recovery on Twitter. Later in the day, Dev expressed his gratitude for the concern shown in an Instagram story from his account. “Thank you everyone for all the love and concern. I am overwhelmed with the good wishes and well on the road to recovery,” it read. Dev, who played 131 Tests and 225 ODIs from 1978 to 1994, is widely hailed as one of the finest allrounders to have played the game. With 5248 runs at 31.05 and 434 wickets at 29.64, he remains the only cricketer to have achieved the double of 5000 Test runs and 400 wickets, and one of only two, alongside Ian Botham, to have completed the 5000-300 double.An outswing bowler of great accuracy and skill, Dev broke Richard Hadlee’s record for most Test wickets (431) in 1994, and his mark of 434 stood until 2000, when Courtney Walsh went past it. Muttiah Muralitharan now holds the record for most Test wickets (800) while James Anderson – who currently has 600 – has the most Test wickets by a fast bowler.

Hardik Pandya: Offspinner bowling 20th over a 'mouthwatering' sight in win against Kings XI Punjab

Praises Mumbai Indians team-mate Kieron Pollard for six-hitting show in 20th over bowled by K Gowtham

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Oct-20202:59

How do Kings XI solve their death-bowling woes?

Hardik Pandya has described the sight of an offspinner coming on to deliver the 20th over of the Mumbai Indians’ innings during Thursday’s clash against the Kings XI Punjab as “mouthwatering”. K Gowtham, the Kings XI fingerspinner, who had figures of 1 for 20 off three overs until then, ended up delivering the second-most expensive final over by a spinner in the IPL. Kieron Pollard, in particular, took a liking to his lengths and hit him for three sixes. Gowtham conceded 25 off the over, and the Mumbai Indians went into the break with the momentum.Gowtham’s final over was only the 18th instance of a spinner delivering the final over of an innings in the IPL. It was also the first time this happened since IPL 2014.”It was intense, more mouthwatering that an offspinner was bowling the 20th over,” Hardik told his older brother Krunal Pandya in a chat with IPLT20.com. “Me and Pollard were like, ‘Whoever misses has to stand at the non-striker’s end and watch.’ That was me, I missed two balls but Pollard made the most of it.”ALSO READ: Talking Points: Why did Gowtham bowl 20th over?Only a game earlier, the Mumbai Indians had nearly chased down 90 in the final five overs against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. On Friday, they plundered 104 off the last six overs, with Pollard, who only came into the bat in the 14th over, hitting an unbeaten 20-ball 47, including three fours and four sixes. After winning the Player of the Match award, Pollard had said “sky is the limit” to what Mumbai can achieve in the last five overs of any innings.Hardik, who has played in IPL 2020 so far as a specialist batsman as a precautionary measure in the wake of a back surgery, was in an equally punishing mood, clobbering an unbeaten 11-ball 30. By the time they walked off the field, the pair had added an unbeaten 67 off just 23 balls to lift the Mumbai Indians to a score Hardik felt wasn’t possible at one stage.Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya strung together a 67-run partnership•BCCI

“The number of times Pollard and I have done this is fantastic,” Hardik said of their big-hitting partnerships. “I’ve always enjoyed it. When we went, it was a clear message that I should go hard because I was looking to get some big runs in the end so that we could get to a total that Kings XI find difficult. We didn’t aim for 192 [as the target], but we were lucky. The big man has done it again. I’m very proud of the way we both batted.”It’s down to the belief we have in the Mumbai Indians set-up where someone or the other does some wonder. I’ve been playing six years now for Mumbai and very often, I’ve seen this again and again. It’s just fascinating.”Job done with the bat was just half the battle won for the Mumbai Indians. They still had the simple matter of dismantling two in-form batsmen in Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul, the top-two run-getters of the season. Both batsmen have struck centuries already this season and seemed to have taken a liking towards the faster bowlers. Kings XI had motored to 33 without loss in three overs when Rohit Sharma introduced Krunal’s left-arm spin.Krunal had gone wicketless and didn’t complete his quota against the Royal Challengers. This, he said, made him determined to do “something special.” His first over went for just four, and having applied the squeeze, he went on to dismiss Karun Nair off his second as he chopped on. Then, in his last two overs, with the Kings XI looking for the release shots, Krunal speared in superb yorkers from both over and around the wicket. Hardik jokingly likened this to Wasim Akram’s methods.”When I came in after the fourth over, where they were going well and I thought, ‘[If] I bowl good here, we are back into the game.’ I was very determined to do well,” Krunal said, before revealing why he tried to spear them in later on. “These days batting skills have gone so up, the way wickets are, you have to find way to ensure batsmen don’t go after you. Sometimes you have to do things here and there. At the end of the day it feels great if you execute your plans.”

Aston Villa want to sign a "monster" who’s similar to Bellingham

The Athletic's transfer correspondent David Ornstein has confirmed that Aston Villa have successfully achieved compliance with the Premier League's profit and sustainability (PSR) rules, and can now prioritise the reinforcing of Unai Emery's Champions League-qualified squad.

This is momentous news, with the threat of a points deduction or some form of sanction hanging over Villa Park at a time of prosperity and progress. Villa have toppled the big six, following trailblazers Newcastle United and proving that the Premier League may be welcoming a new period of advancement from upwardly mobile clubs typically lower down the table.

Lest we forget, Aston Villa languished in the Championship only five years ago, seemingly lacking direction and purpose before the fortunes turned and the Midlands club entered the ascendancy.

Aston Villa players celebrate

Now, after competing in the Europa Conference League last term and currently taking a seat at Europe's elite table, the Villans are, as Ornstein confirms, ready to pounce on a number of transfer targets.

Aston Villa transfer news

The protracted transfer saga revolving around Douglas Luiz will soon draw to a close, with the Brazil international joining Juventus and Samuel-Iling Junior and Enzo Barrenechea moving in the opposite direction.

Perhaps recent relations between the clubs could lead Villa to capitalise on another opportunity.

As per TEAMtalk, Villa have joined a host of top European outfits – notably including Manchester United – in tussling to sign Adrien Rabiot, with the French midfielder out of contract with Juventus this summer.

Rabiot has held crunch talks with the Old Lady regarding an extension but to no avail, opening the door for suitors to canvass their proposals.

Adrien Rabiot for France.

It's further mentioned that 'Emery wants a particular kind of midfielder' with two favoured options being Rabiot and Matteo Guendouzi.

The 29-year-old is a multi-talented player and would add an invaluable dimension to Emery's outfit.

How Adrien Rabiot would fit in at Villa

Rabiot, currently starring for Les Bleus at Euro 2024, might be nearing his third decade on this planet but he's performing at a high level and boasts the kind of robust physicality that Emery looks for in his team.

Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot celebrates

Also, importantly, Villa might be claiming two talented players in return for Luiz's sale but both are young (20 and 23 respectively) and relatively untested. Rabiot's grit and experience would pay dividends in this regard.

As per FBref, Rabiot ranks among the top 11% of central midfielders across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for goals scored, the top 14% for progressive carries, the top 8% for touches in the attacking penalty area and the top 11% for aerial duels won per 90.

The France international thrives across a range of departments and, in this regard, he could be considered Villa's very own Jude Bellingham, if Emery prevails in securing his signature.

How Rabiot compares to Bellingham

Bellingham needs no introduction, having skyrocketed to the footballing skies and cementing himself, aged 20, as one of the world's best players, conquering Europe in May in his maiden year at Real Madrid, having signed from Borussia Dortmund in a deal rising to £115m last summer.

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham.

Last season, completing the La Liga and Champions League double, Bellingham scored 23 goals and supplied 13 assists across 42 appearances, consequently ranking among the top 2% of positional peers for goals scored, the top 3% for blocks and the top 19% for aerial duels won per 90.

Further highlighting the player's remarkably rounded skill set, bearing similarities to Rabiot's, let's examine his seasonal statistics in La Liga compared to the £146k-per-week Frenchman's over in Italy.

We're prepared to take stick for this but it appears like Bellingham might, perhaps, be the best goalscorer, more creative and crisper in possession too, but Rabiot has occupied more of a box-to-box role than his English counterpart, who has effectively performed as a box-crashing forward for much of the campaign.

But still, Rabiot holds his own in accuracy in both his ball-carrying and duel success rates, proving to be more active and energetic and still creating six big chances to Bellingham's seven despite their positional differences. The Juventus ace has even been dubbed a "monster" by football writer Robin Bairner.

Adrien Rabiot for Juventus

Rabiot flattered to deceive in front of goal for his nation last weekend, failing to capitalise on a host of opportunities to bypass the Netherlands net, but profligacy is not something that features prominently on the regular – Rabiot missed only two big chances during the concluded Serie A campaign.

As per Sofascore, against the Dutch, he won all seven of his contested duels, completed 97% of his passes, completed, moreover, all four of his dribbles, placed four key passes and even chipped in with three tackles. It was, all in all, an appearance that showcased his lofty talents, marred by one or two chances that went begging, leading the masses to conclude that he failed to impress.

Villa, Monchi, Emery, the transfer team. Last season's Premier League high-fliers will have read the underlying numbers and determined for themselves that Rabiot is a player capable of making a real impact on their squad, especially as they venture onto Champions League soil.

Some might scoff at suggestions that Rabiot could perform as Emery's own version of Bellingham at Villa Park, but the Francais phenom is both fluid and fierce in his forward movements, switched on during defensive phases, endowed with an inborn understanding of the game that is discernible through his spatial awareness and link-up play.

Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid

Furthermore, he knows his way around a goal, bagging 11 times during the 2022/23 campaign to evidence this point. Once hailed as "world class, an extraordinary player" by compatriot and one-time Les Bleus star David Trezeguet.

Villa would do well to add him to the ranks, and while the likes of Manchester United are interested, Emery's project could tempt him to try his hand at Villa Park, playing a leading role for the Lions.

"يصرخ باسمي".. سوبوسلاي يكشف سر ثنائيته الناجحة مع محمد صلاح في ليفربول

كشف لاعب وسط الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ليفربول، دومينيك سوبوسلاي، عن سر ثنائيته مع محمد صلاح والتألق في مباريات الريدز في الفترة الأخيرة.

واستطاع محمد صلاح أن يصنع هدفًا لزميله المجري في مباراة الأمس أمام توتنهام في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، بل وأن الفرعون المصري سجل هدفين آخرين وصنع آخر لصالح، لويس دياز.

في حين أن سوبوسلاي قام بصناعة هدف محمد صلاح الثاني في شباك توتنهام.

وتحدث سوبوسلاي عن ثنائيته مع محمد صلاح في تصريحات لشبكة “Stadium Astro”، وقال: “أتمنى ان أتمكن في كل مباراة من تمرير الكرة له، وأن يفعل العكس لي”.

وتابع: “نحن نفهم بعضنا البعض جيدًا، فهو يصرخ باسمي دائمًا حتى ولو لم أكن حر التحرك في وسط الملعب”.

واستمر: “الجميع يرى ما يقوم محمد صلاح به في كل مباراة، يبذل قصارى جهده لتسجيل وصناعة الأهداف”.

وأتم: “مو يساعدنا في كل مباراة يخوضها بكل شيء يملكه، ليس فقط على أرض الملعب ولكن خارجه كذلك”.

Arsenal can forget Gyokeres by signing £75m England star

How do Arsenal win the Premier League next season? That will be the largest question on Mikel Arteta's mind this summer.

The Gunners are getting closer, reducing the gap to Manchester City from five points in 2022/23 to just two points in 2023/24. They were desperately near to ending that 20-year wait for a Premier League title.

You can look back at certain moments during the campaign and wonder what if. What if they had beaten Aston Villa during the run-in? Well, what if they'd beaten Man City during the same run of games too?

The fact of the matter is that Arsenal probably did just about all they could to win the title. They had the best defence in the land and were scoring goals at will, smacking six past West Ham, five past Burnley and another half a dozen past Sheffield United.

Is scoring more goals the answer, then? It feels ridiculous to say yes after the facts listed above but they still found the net fewer times than the might of Pep Guardiola's team.

So, how about a new striker?

The strikers Arsenal could sign

RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko was linked rather relentlessly with a move to Arsenal a few weeks ago but he is now set to stay in Germany and sign a new deal.

The next target they have moved onto is believed to be Viktor Gyokeres of Portuguese club Sporting.

Gyokeres had a wonderful campaign in Lisbon, scoring 43 goals across all competitions with some reports even suggesting the Gunners are closing in on his acquisition.

Sporting CP strikerViktor Gyokeres.

That said, with such a hefty price tag attached to him – £76m upfront reportedly – there are questions to be asked about whether the club need a new centre-forward.

After all, Kai Havertz shone as a false nine during the back end of last campaign, contributing to 15 goals in 18 matches from that role.

So, would landing Gyokeres, someone who has never played in the Premier League before be a gamble? Indeed.

Perhaps raiding a top-flight club again, a successful tactic during the Edu and Arteta reign would be a good idea.

Cedric (Southampton)

Ben White (Brighton)

Aaron Ramsdale (Sheffield Utd)

Gabriel Jesus (Man City)

Oleksandr Zinchenko (Man City)

Leandro Trossard (Brighton)

Kai Havertz (Chelsea)

David Raya (Brentford)

How does Ollie Watkins sound, everyone?

Why Arsenal should sign Ollie Watkins instead

Let's get things straight. The idea of Aston Villa selling their main man ahead of a season in the Champions League is unlikely.

However, the England international has been on the club's radar for a while now and is a self-confessed Gooner. Perhaps the stars will finally align this summer?

Aston-Villa-Emery-Watkins-Champions-League

Speaking in 2020 when he was still a Brentford player, he said: "That’s the dream, to play for Arsenal one day. But, you know, it’s a long shot."

The latest we heard on any move was back in March when reports suggested that Arsenal had made an approach to sign Watkins, a player reportedly valued around the £75m mark.

So, he could cost the same amount as Gyokeres this summer, but they'd be getting a Premier League-proven player who is in the best form of his life.

Speaking on Monday Night Football last season, presenter Dave Jones suggested that he was delivering "Thierry Henry style numbers".

Why did he say that? Well, the Villa star was as good in front of goal as he was creatively.

Via Sky Sports Monday Night Football.

Last season, Watkins ended up finishing with 19 goals and 13 assists in the league. It's not quite Henry levels but the sheer rate he was scoring and creating with was supremely impressive.

As a result, he walked away with the Playmaker Award for the most assists in the English top flight, not bad indeed for someone whose main job is to actually score the goals.

Of course, that ability to find the net with such regularity would no doubt pique the interest of Arteta but he likes his players to be able to offer more than just one skill.

Watkins' ability to feed others and act selflessly for the team is a huge plus point and someone who would certainly play into the hands of players like Bukayo Saka and even Havertz.

Indeed, it would not be unreasonable to think that the German could actually play up front with the Villa star, such are their traits.

Ollie Watkins for Aston Villa

Gyokeres may well have registered nine league assists himself last season but it would be a risk given the quality of the opponent he was facing.

That's no disrespect to the top-flight in Portugal but Watkins has already proven he can run riot against Premier League defences.

A move, of course, is difficult to see happening but wouldn't it be an exceptional capture? A boyhood Gunner leading the line for Arsenal certainly sounds nice.

وأضاف: “من الجيد أنهم لم يسجلوا اليوم، لقد قدمنا مباراة جيدة دفاعيًا أيضًا، في مواجهة ليستر سيتي سجلوا من فرصة واحدة أمام المرمى، اليوم لم يكن ذلك، وكنا محظوظين بسبب ارتطام كرة قدوس بالقائم، عندما كنا نتقدم بهدف”.

وأشار: “الشباك النظيفة أحد الأسباب التي تجعلك تفوز كثيرًا وتساعدك على الفوز، في بعض الأحيان تحتاج إلى الفوز من خلال الحفاظ على نظافة شباكك”.

وسُئل عن مستوى محمد صلاح، أجاب: “إذا نظرت إلى أرقام محمد صلاح، لن تشك أبدًا بأنه أفضل لاعب في العالم”.

وعند سؤاله عن خسارة مباراة واحدة فقط في عام 2024، قال: “أهنئ نوتينجهام فورست، لقد كانوا الأفضل عندما حققوا الفوز علينا، تلك هي الهزيمة الوحيدة لي في عام 2024 مع ليفربول وفينورد بالفعل”.

وعن مستقبل ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد: “طريقته في الاحتفال تخبركم الكثير بشأن الشائعات التي ارتبطت به خلال الفترة الماضية”.

CSA members' council agree to government-imposed interim board

Compliance ensures that CSA will retain its status and funding for now

Firdose Moonda16-Nov-2020

Nathi Mthethwa has issued a warning to the CSA’s members’ council•Gallo Images/Getty Images

CSA’s members’ council have u-turned on their decision not to recognise the nine-member interim board imposed by the country’s sports minister, Nathi Mthethwa, and have agreed to ratify the temporary body. That means CSA will avoid a sanction from Mthethwa, which could have resulted in it being stripped of status as the governing body of cricket in South Africa, and having its funding withdrawn.In the immediate term, it ensures the national men’s series against England, which starts on November 27, is safe. England are due to arrive in South Africa on Tuesday to begin a 10-day quarantine period. Though the tour was green-lit by government, uncertainty over CSA’s status meant that there were some concerns the administrative bungling could have on-field effects.ALSO READ: Buttler targets momentum in England’s T20 World Cup build-upAs long as the interim board is formally recognised (which should happen in the coming days in accordance with the Companies’ Act) and Mthethwa is not needed to intervene again, series against Sri Lanka, Australia and Pakistan will also be able to go ahead as planned, while the women’s team’s schedule is also expected soon.While CSA has escaped ministerial interference, the board may not be out of the international spotlight. The members’ council, or any other department of CSA, could yet lodge a complaint with the ICC, citing government interference over the interim board, which could result in further action. Mthethwa has kept the ICC abreast of all his communication with CSA and interim board chair Zak Yacoob, who remains in his position, has made plain that the sports minister’s action does not constitute a breach of ICC code of conduct as it aimed not at running cricket, but stabilising it. It is not clear what caused the members’ council’s change of heart apart from the obvious: that they had no choice but to work with the interim board or face the wrath of government and a massive backlash from the most important stakeholders, the players and fans. The South African Cricketers’ Association made known its “despair” that the members’ council had initially stymied the interim board, and over the weekend, two current cricketers, Farhaan Behardien and Henry Davids implored them to “look after the future generation of players”.For that to happen, the work of the interim board needs to progress swiftly. The board was given an initial three-month period, which will run through to the end of January, to look into a wide-range of issues including a proposed domestic restructure and the forensic report which CSA used to fire former CEO Thabang Moroe, and to design a roadmap for CSA to elect a new, permanent board after its yet-to-scheduled AGM.The magnitude of their task means the interim board require ease of access to information from CSA but they have been obstructed over the last two weeks, which could result in their stay being extended. Reliable sources confirming that the CSA executive have not been willing to supply information to the interim board . Yacoob himself said that “those members of the administration who we have interacted with have been uncooperative, difficult, unresponsive, arrogant and sometimes rude”. Crucially, the members’ council also believed the interim board should report to them, something which Yacoob clarified is not the case. “This is not the type of board that can be placed under anyone’s thumb,” Yacoob said, stressing the independence of the interim board.

Inicialmente, a previsão era de que o atacante perdesse até dez jogos da Série B do Brasileirão, ficando fora fora de combate por mais de um mês. O camisa 11, porém, evoluiu de forma positiva aos tratamentos e já retornou ao campo.

A resposta foi tão boa que existe a possibilidade de Diego Gonçalves ser relacionado e ficar no banco para a partida contra o Londrina, neste sábado, no Estádio Nilton Santos, pela 23ª rodada da Série B. A comissão técnica ainda avalia essa questão internamente.

O atacante iniciou a transição aos gramados apenas uma semana de o clube ter divulgado a lesão. Duas semanas depois do problema muscular, o clube até cogita levá-lo a um jogo novamente – ou seja, o atleta se recuperou na metade do tempo previsto inicialmente pelo Glorioso.

Nesta quinta-feira, ele participou normalmente das atividades do grupo com o treinador Enderson Moreira. Caberá ao comandante levar o atleta ou não ao banco de reservas na próxima partida.
