The update comes after Silva was forced off during Internacional's recent match against Coritiba, and it was announced that he would be sidelined for "a few days." However, further details about the severity of his injury have not been disclosed.
Silva's absence will be a major blow to Internacional,Bundesliga Express as he is one of their top goalscorers this season with nine goals in just eight games. The club will now need to find a replacement for Silva, but they may struggle to find someone who can replicate his form.
The news of Silva's injury comes at a critical time for Internacional, who are currently second in the Brazilian Serie A table. They will hope that their other forwards such as Bruno Henrique and Marcelo D'Alessandro can step up and fill the void left by Silva's absence.
