Current Absence
| Reason | Further Detail | Potential Return | Condition | Status | Team |
| Chest/Abdominal Injury | Further Detail Aug 16: 'After his injury, he trained with us, and unfortunately, he fractured his rib again, so he will be out for the next weeks.'
Aug 16: 'The groin injury meant he would return during the start of pre-season. As always with rehab, it was up and down - but he worked really hard. There was a little bit of a setback; it [came from] something that happens 50 times in a training session - it was unfortunate. He fractured his rib. It's very painful. It's not a big issue, but he needs to rest - you can't really do anything.'
Aug 30: '[Matheus], still with his fractured rib, is out.'
Sept 13: 'Franca is also not available. He's coming closer to the training pitch. We mentioned he ruptured his rib, and it's just painful, but he's already starting training individually on the pitch.' | Potential Return 05/10/2024 | Condition Not Available | Status Ruled Out | Team  |

| Mar 24 | Reason Groin/Hip/Pelvic Injury | Duration >4 wks | Further Detail Mar 08: 'We will miss Franca tomorrow - he has a problem with his groin.'
Mar 29: 'Matheus has a problem with his groin. It's a little bit more difficult because when we increase the intensity of his training, he gets pain again. I cannot tell exactly when he will be back.' | Team |
| Aug 23 | Reason Lower Back Injury | Duration >4 wks | Further Detail Aug 08: 'The young lad from Brazil, who we have very high hopes for, is not going to be available because he's got an injury that he's looking after.'
Aug 11: 'Matheus has come to the club, and they detected a slight stress problem there, so the medical department don't want to push him into training for the next few weeks. Until he has a second scan, we'll have to do without him.'
Aug 17: 'The young Brazilian boy, Matheus, is still in rehabilitation - we don't quite know when he will be there for us.'
Aug 25: 'There isn't really a timeframe because he will need another scan to start with, and that will then tell us if the injury that he had when he joined us is progressing and clearing up.'
Sept 01: 'Matheus is with our medical dept. and we are keeping an eye on his situation. He is due to have another scan fairly soon to see if there is any improvement. I don't have an update in terms of the time he will come back.'
Sept 15: 'We hope he will be with us in a couple of weeks in training sessions. Then, he's got to get himself match-fit and accept that after the 6-7 weeks he's had to recover from his injury, he'll have to do plenty of work with us to get himself up to speed.'
Oct 06: 'The good news is that he is no longer injured, and he has been free to join in with the squad - as a spare player - not taking part in the actual thrust of football.'
Oct 20: 'He's not injured. He's a candidate, yeah. Training is training. We need to see him in games. In training, he's fine, he works hard, he does the right thing.' | Team |
