Having left the pitch injured during the game, the extent of the Renato Augusto"s injury was confirmed by club doctor Guilherme Runco on Monday morning.
He told reporters: “We will do a scan tomorrow afternoon to define the extent of the injury and there will be a recovery period. He"ll be out for 20-30 days, most, depending on the size [of the injury]."
