⌚ Galo race against time to get players fit for Copa Sul-Americana final

⌚ Galo race against time to get players fit for Copa Sul-Americana final Atlético-MG have just five games left in 2026 and need to get several injured players fit again quickly. The main goal is to be at full strength for the CONMEBOL Sudamericana final against Boca Juniors on November 21 in Barranquilla, Colombia. In the 1–1 draw with Grêmio in the Copa do Brasil, Fred and Cassierra came on in the second half but were still short of full fitness. Coach Eduardo Domínguez confirmed that Fred played “through the pain,” as his left thigh injury had not yet healed. Cassierra is also coming back from a thigh injury and played fewer than 30 minutes. Ruan Tressoldi and Maycon, who had already been cleared to play, remained on the bench against Grêmio. Atlético still have three players receiving treatment: Victor Hugo, with a right thigh adductor problem, Reinier, with a left thigh injury, and Thiago Borbas, with a right thigh injury. Borbas is the closest to returning to training with the squad. Lyanco also missed the game against Grêmio. In addition to discomfort in a tendon in his left foot, he was rested due to serious personal issues. Galo are now preparing to face Mirassol on the 14th, followed by the final against Boca. They also have games against Corinthians, Vasco and Bahia remaining in the Brasileirão. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
