Alex Telles latest injury update: São Paulo injury details.
São Paulo defender Alex Telles has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a serious ankle ligament injury during training on Thursday.
The Brazilian international, who joined São Paulo from Santos in January, had been expected to feature regularly this season and was one of the club's top players last year.
However, he suffered the injury while playing against Palmeiras and will now be sidelined until at least the end of the campaign.
Telles' absence is a major blow for São Paulo, who are currently seventh in the Brazilian league table and have already qualified for next season's Copa Libertadores.
The club will need to find a replacement for him quickly as they look to secure their place in the competition.
Injuries can be costly for any team,Campeonato Brasileiro Action but with Telles likely to miss several months, it could be difficult for São Paulo to compete at the same level without him.
Despite his recent injury, Telles remains a highly talented player and has the potential to make a significant impact for São Paulo once he returns to full fitness.
However, it's clear that his current situation is a major concern for the club and they'll need to work hard to find a solution before the end of the season.
