🤕 Cruzeiro announce Fagner suffered a fracture after Pottker’s challenge | OneFootball

The tackle by William Pottker on Fagner in last Wednesday's (30) match had consequences for the right-back.

Cruzeiro confirmed this Friday (1) that he suffered a fracture in the fibula of his right leg.

According to the released statement, the treatment will be conservative, and thus, there will be no need for surgical intervention.

The absence duration of the 36-year-old number 23 was not disclosed.

Fagner criticized Pottker's tackle after the match at Mineirão and was countered by the forward from the Alagoas team.

Fagner's absence, who was the starter in the position, leaves Raposa with only William as an option.

He was absent against Ceará in a Brasileirão match and also against CRB due to muscle fatigue.

But he will be back on Sunday (3) for the game against Botafogo.

As the runner-up with 34 points, Raposa will challenge the current sixth-placed team (26) at Nilton Santos.
