Paolo Guerrero suffers injury in Flamengo vs Vasco da Gama match

He was moved as they pleased. Paolo Guerrero had to leave the Flamengo vs Vasco da Gama match 15 minutes into the second half as a precautionary measure, after receiving a brutal headbutt to the neck from a rival defender.

The 'Depredador' went for a divided aerial ball, but received a terrible headbutt from Henrique, leaving him lying on the field with a huge bump on his head. < br> < br> Immediately, the medical staff of 'Mengao', who had entered the field to attend to the forward, requested Guerrero's substitution, who despite asking to continue in the game, was replaced by Leandro Damiao.

Without a doubt, it was not Paolo Guerrero's match, who had been cautioned just two minutes into the game for complaining about a foul. This card was his third in the Brasileirao so far, and he will miss Flamengo's next match against Gremio.
