O lateral Claudinho foi submetido a cirurgia nesta quinta-feira, depois de romper o LCA (ligamento cruzado anterior) do joelho na partida com o Palmeiras, no sábado. O procedimento aconteceu em São Paulo, e ele recebe alta neste sábado para voltar a Curitiba.
Claudinho entrou em campo no intervalo, com o time dois gols atrás na Arena da Baixada, por escolha do técnico Odair Hellmann. Durou cerca de cinco minutos até o ligamento ceder, e precisou ser retirado de maca.
O procedimento ocorreu no HCor, hospital paulistano. O tratamento da lesão seguirá no CT do Caju, na capital paranaense. O Athletico não estipulou prazo para o retorno, mas o atleta está fora do restante desta temporada.
Aos 20 anos, ele estreou no Brasileirão deste ano com a camisa do Athletico, aparecendo no empate com o Flamengo, em maio, quando Léo Derik sentiu dores no tornozelo. Depois disso, foi titular em cinco partidas sob o comando de Odair Hellmann, e o rendimento levou o clube a estender o contrato até 2030 — o vínculo anterior terminava em 2028.
Claudinho chegou ao Furacão no ano passado, contratado ao Desportivo Brasil. Ele se formou nas divisões de base do São Paulo antes de se transferir para o clube do interior paulista, onde ele estreou como profissional. Na temporada passada, já havia jogado como profissional na Taça FPF, competição na qual o Athletico escalou o elenco sub-20.
