Nacional's Maxi Silvera Cleared of New Muscle Injury, Squad Decision Pending

Nacional's medical team has provided a sigh of relief, confirming that forward Maxi Silvera has not suffered a new muscle tear. The 28-year-old had experienced discomfort during training, raising concerns due to a previous injury in the same area on March 17. However, an ultrasound has cleared him, easing worries within the club.

Silvera, who recently returned to action after a five-game absence, including the Copa Libertadores debut, played 45 minutes in the previous match against Deportivo Maldonado. His return to the pitch was met with enthusiasm, especially after missing the initial Libertadores fixture against Coquimbo Unido. He expressed his joy and patience during his recovery, eager to participate in the tournament with Nacional.

We will see how Maxi Silvera continues, but with the peace of mind that there is no injury.

The club is managing Silvera's situation cautiously, prioritizing his long-term fitness. While the medical results are positive, his participation in the upcoming game against Liverpool is still undecided. The team's focus remains on ensuring he is fully recovered, demonstrating a responsible approach to player welfare.

I am very happy, with great joy too. I was looking forward to this moment, to play a Copa Libertadores with Nacional. When the injury happened, one of my regrets was not being able to make it to the debut in Chile, which was what I was aiming for, but hey, I also had patience because that was part of the recovery. Luckily it happened today here at the Gran Parque Central, with our people. I am very happy about that and we got the victory, which was more than important.
