The Brazilian football club, Santos, has released a statement regarding the latest injury update on midfielder Kelvin São Paulo.

São Paulo sustained an ankle injury during the team's recent match against Flamengo and is expected to be out for several weeks.

The 25-year-old player had been in excellent form this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists in his six appearances so far.

However, the injury is a setback for Santos, who are currently sixth in the league table with just one win from their last four games.

Manager Jardel said: "We're disappointed that Kelvin won't be able to play for us for a while. He's been performing well for us and we hope he'll recover soon."

Santos will now have to rely on other players to fill the void left by São Paulo's absence. The club's top scorer, Diego, is likely to step up and take on more responsibility, while younger players like Gabriel and Lucas are also looking to make their mark.

Despite the setback, Santos fans should remain optimistic about their chances of success in the coming matches. With key players like Gabriel and Lucas returning to fitness, Santos could still challenge for a place in the playoffs.
