Aleixo said that Fernandez needs three weeks to prepare for the return to the RPL
Became known the details of the condition of the Brazilian defender Mario Fernandez before returning to the Russian Premier League (RPL). This was reported to Match TV by journalist Fabio Aleixo.
“Mario needs from three weeks to a month to be ready for RPL matches. It’s not that he’s “fat”, it’s not true, he just hasn’t played for a long time, ”Aleisho said.
On July 14, the Mutko vs. Telegram channel reported that Zenit was postponing the presentation of Fernandez due to problems with the player’s weight. Sport24 later clarified that the delay in the official announcement of the player’s transfer was due to the match between Zenit and CSKA for the Russian Super Cup on July 15. The presentation of the player is expected on July 17.

The rights to Fernandez belong to CSKA. Director of Communications of the Moscow club Kirill Breido said that in the winter the parties agreed on the actual termination of the contract and entered into a gentleman’s agreement not to announce it, as it was unprofitable for the team.
In 2023, the defender played on loan for the Brazilian Internacional, but on April 21 he left the club ahead of schedule for personal reasons. Since 2017, the defender has been involved in matches for the Russian national team, with which he reached the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup.
