Torn ligaments
The Brazilian suffered the injury in a tackle with AC Sparta Praha's Martin Petrás during the defeat against their city rivals at the weekend. A scan also revealed that the 22-year-old had torn ligaments and so he was immediately put in plaster.
Excellent form
Adauto, who will become a free agent in the summer, had been in excellent form in the 1. liga in recent weeks, scoring four goals in five games. The 2-0 defeat by league leaders Sparta left Slavia in second place, seven points behind their rivals.
