Brenner suffered the injury in the game against Bahia, where he was substituted at half-time. Specialists were consulted on Wednesday, and a surgical procedure has been recommended to treat the injury. The expected recovery time is a minimum of three weeks. This is a significant blow for Vasco, who will now have to rely on other players to fill the void left by Brenner's absence.
Carlos Cuesta, who felt pain while saving a chance from Luciano Juba in the first half, is also facing a reevaluation daily and does not have a guaranteed presence in the team. If he is experiencing pain on Thursday, he will also be preserved for the game against Santos in the Brasileirão. Meanwhile, Andrés Gómez has been ruled out due to pain in his left foot and will be poupado and reavaliado for the game against Santos.
The Vasco team will be selected based on who is physically better suited for the game against Santos on Sunday, with coach Pedro Emanuel often confirming the lineup only a few hours before the game, even for his own players. Despite this, Diego Carlos has given a positive signal to Vasco, but Fenerbahçe is still an obstacle. The Vasco vs. Olimpia game will take place on August 12 at 19h (Brasília time) in São Januário.
