David Neres’ farewell, with remonstrances, during the second half of the match against Sevilla, hinted at the possibility of a muscle problem in his left leg, a scenario which, for now, seems out of the question.
The Brazilian sustained a trauma in the left calf area, was in pain and asked to be replaced 32 minutes after arriving at the Spaniards’ match, also as a precaution.
Yesterday the player underwent diagnostic tests and today, the day he returns to work, he will be re-evaluated to understand the degree of difficulty and discomfort he will still experience. And from the player’s reaction we will see if he can possibly still be an option for the match against Moreirense on Saturday, the last match of the group stage of the League Cup.
Roger Schmidt could also understand saving the Brazilian for his next commitments, i.e. the championship, given that upon returning to the championship the eaglets will have to go to Braga for a high-risk match and the Rossoneri coach will want to have the team at the highest level in that date (December 30).
