Midfielder Jair has returned to training with the ball for Vasco and is now in the final days of waiting before returning to action. Has not taken the field since February 4, when he suffered a serious injury to his right knee. He underwent surgery and has been out for nearly eight months. Even so, the wait is over and it is hoped that they can be registered again this October.
Jair suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the draw with Flamengo, in the Campeonato Carioca. Since then, he dedicated himself to long and dedicated work in the field of physiotherapy, following the surgery he underwent. He has been training with the ball for more than a week and coach Rafael Paiva is almost counting on him for the final rounds of the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil.
Even so, against Cruzeiro, this Sunday (29), Jair will be available for Vasco. Therefore, the greatest possibility is that he will be registered again after the FIFA date. Therefore, the first opportunity is the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final, against Atlético-MG. The match will be held in São Januário, on October 16 or 17.
In this way, Jair’s return to Vasco could be symbolic, since from Galo Jair arrived in São Januário in 2023. Since then, he has played 42 matches and scored five goals in the Vasco shirt.
