Bahia manages player injuries and returns ahead of upcoming matches

EC Bahia is managing several player fitness updates ahead of their upcoming matches. Midfielder Caio Alexandre has returned to action following an injury, appearing as a substitute in a recent draw against Vasco. Alexandre expressed his commitment to regaining his peak physical and technical form through intensive training to regain his regular spot in Rogério Ceni’s lineup.

Regarding the medical department, Everton Ribeiro is showing progress in his recovery from chronic lower back pain, participating in specialized physical and technical activities, though he remains without a definitive return date and is unlikely to play against Chapecoense. Conversely, attacker Ademir has been ruled out for the match against Chapecoense due to a left thigh adductor strain, with a potential return expected in early September.

Other players currently in recovery include Léo Vieira (patellar tendon), Luciano Juba (ankle), and Erick (foot infection).
