According to reporter Monique Vilela, Léo Derik suffered an ankle ligament injury. The prediction is that the athlete will be away for about a month before returning to training. Total recovery, however, should take longer.

This injury by Léo Derik is added to a series of embezzlements in the red-black cast, which already suffers from the absence of three other athletes. Squirrel, with an ankle problem; Dudu, with a shoulder injury; and Babi, with thigh pain, are in the Medical Department.
