Internacional goalkeeper Sergio Rochet nears return from injury

Internacional goalkeeper Sergio Rochet is progressing in his recovery from disc herniation surgery. The Uruguayan player is expected to begin light training soon, with medical staff estimating he could be available for matches in October, potentially for the fixture against Corinthians.

In the interim, the club is facing a competition for the starting position. Matheus Cunha, who has started the last ten matches, has faced criticism following a recent stretch where he conceded nine goals in three games against Bahia, Grêmio, and Santos. This has led the coaching staff to reconsider Anthoni as a potential starter for upcoming matches, including the game against Chapecoense.

Rochet has played 17 matches this season, conceding 17 goals, which is a lower average than both Matheus Cunha and Anthoni.
