Fernando Sobral, a key midfielder and trusted player of coach Léo Condé, is officially ruled out for Ceará in their crucial match against Mirassol due to a recent injury. This latest setback comes during a critical phase of the 2025 season, where Sobral had already missed the last two matches due to injury concerns, raising alarms within the coaching staff.
The 88-shirted player is currently undergoing treatment at the club’s medical department and did not accompany the team on their trip to São Paulo. While he has not sustained a serious injury and is in the transitional phase toward returning to the pitch, his availability for the upcoming matches remains uncertain. The coaching team is anticipating a reevaluation of his condition to potentially include him in the squad for the following round.
Ceará will face Mirassol on Monday, October 24, at 19:00 (Brasilia time), looking to regain their winning form in the Serie A after a recent defeat against Internacional. Their primary goal for the season is to secure their position in the top tier of Brazilian football, making this match pivotal as they strive for vital points in the league standings. This situation underscores the resilience required from the remaining players to support the team’s objectives during Sobral’s absence.
