He was injured just seven minutes into the match when he lost the ball in the middle of the pitch. CFC players switched off and East Bengal took advantage of the situation to take the lead through Edmund Lalrindika.
The Brazilian signed for the two-time ISL champions in 2024 and has made 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring once in that time.
CFC are currently twelfth in the table with five points from seven matches, ahead of Kerala Blasters (4) and Mohammedan Sporting (0).
