Emerson is anticipated to make a comeback for the Club World Cup. Despite being stretchered off in the 20th minute of the match against Portuguesa last Saturday, the Corinthians striker is expected to return to action in December. Suffering from a ligament strain in his right knee, the estimated duration of his absence is between three and four weeks.
Initially concerned about the injury, the club’s medical staff expressed confidence after assessing the situation. If Emerson adheres to a proper rehabilitation program, he is poised to resume playing football in mid-November. His return will be a valuable addition for the winner of the Copa Libertadores during the Club World Cup scheduled to take place from December 1 to 16, 2012.
