# Enrique's Latest Injury Update on Internacional

Internacional midfielder Enrique has suffered a setback in his recovery from a muscle injury, casting doubts over his availability for the upcoming fixtures. The 28-year-old, who has been a key player for the Brazilian club this season, was initially expected to return to action within four weeks. However, the latest medical reports suggest that his recovery is taking longer than anticipated.

According to sources close to the club, Enrique experienced discomfort during a training session last week, which prompted further medical evaluation. The scans revealed that the injury, sustained during a league match earlier this month, was more severe than initially diagnosed. As a result, the player is now expected to be sidelined for an additional two to three weeks.

This news comes as a blow to Internacional, who are currently competing in both the Brazilian Serie A and the Copa Libertadores. Enrique’s absence has already been felt, with the team struggling to maintain consistency in his absence. Manager Odair Hellmann acknowledged the situation, stating, "Enrique is a vital part of our squad, and his injury is a significant loss. However, we have faith in our other players to step up and fill the gap."

Enrique himself expressed frustration over the setback, saying, "I was eager to return and help the team, but I need to prioritize my health. I’m working hard to recover as soon as possible." Fans of Internacional will be hoping for a swift and full recovery for their star midfielder, as the club aims to secure a strong finish in both domestic and continental competitions this season.
