Marlon, left-back for Grêmio, coached by Luís Castro, suffered a fracture in his right ankle during the match against Vitória, part of the seventh round of the Brasileirão. The 28-year-old player will undergo surgery and faces several months of recovery. The shocking incident occurred in the 70th minute of the match held in Porto Alegre. In a challenge with an opponent, Marlon's foot got caught, resulting in a horrific injury that required him to be taken off the field by ambulance after receiving medical assistance. "MY GOD, what a strong image of the injury to left-back Marlon." According to information released by Grêmio, the defender will undergo surgery this Friday. The estimated recovery time points to a return to competition in five months. Before Marlon's misfortune, the home team was already leading 2-0, with goals from Camutanga (own goal) and Francis Amuzu. With this victory, Grêmio climbed to seventh place in the league, now totaling 11 points. After the final whistle, both Vitória and Grêmio took to social media to express their support for the injured player. "MEDICAL REPORT 🇪🇪 Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense informs that left-back Marlon has been diagnosed with a fracture of the right ankle and will undergo surgery this Friday afternoon. The estimated return time is five months." Vitória expressed its solidarity: "All our solidarity to Marlon after the incident a little while ago. Football is about competition, but above all, it is about respect and care for those on the field. We wish you strength and a speedy recovery. We are with you, Marlon." For its part, Grêmio sent a message of strength to its athlete: "We are a team and also a family of millions. We are with you, Marlon. You are a leader on the field, an exemplary professional, always honoring the three colors as a great gremista. Get well soon, we are sure you will come back even stronger!" "Often we talk about priorities, we wish for many things and repeat that health is the most important. But in our daily lives, we do not show this: we are aggressive, intolerant, we look for what is wrong and do not value what is right. We live in a world that only wants to sell blood. When something like this happens, we realize: life is to be enjoyed and thought of differently," said Luís Castro at a press conference regarding the serious injury suffered by his player.
