Domingos Duarte, a key player for São Paulo, has suffered a serious injury. The 28-year-old defender ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, leaving him out for the remainder of the season. Globo Esporte Futebol reports that he is expected to return in mid-2027.
This setback is a significant blow to São Paulo, who will have to rely on other players to fill the gap left by Domingos. The team's coach, Dorival Júnior, will have to find a solution to this problem, as the team's defense has been struggling this season.
With Domingos out, Dorival Júnior may have to improvise with other players, such as Newton, who has experience playing as a right-back. The team's other options in the defense are young players, including Osorio and Isac, who have yet to make their debuts.
