RIO DE JANEIRO Cheap Bobby Orr Shirt , Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Brazil striker Fred has been ruled out of Fluminense's next two matches after suffering a setback in his recovery from a serious thigh injury.
The 30-year-old has struggled for form and fitness in his first three matches of the year in Rio's state championship following more than four months on the sidelines.
He admitted to feeling "hindered" during Fluminense's 1-0 victory over Resende on Wednesday.
According to a statement on the club's website, the former Lyon frontman will miss Fluminense's matches against Bangu and Audax but is expected to return for the local derby against Flamengo on February 8.
"He will be given a customized training program by the football department," the statement said.
Fred is in a race against time to convince Selecao coach Luiz Felipe Scolari he is worthy of a place in Brazil's World Cup squad.
Before his injury, Fred was Brazil's undisputed first-choice centre-forward and won the silver boot award for being the second-top scorer at last year's Confederations Cup with five goals.

The proposal by the ITTF to ban certain long pimple rubbers was announced well over a year ago now. The reasoning was that some long pimple rubbers were treated, making the tips of the pimples less grippy then the sides, producing different spin depending on how far you bend the pimples. The rubber properties are supposed to be consistent throughout, so they propose these types of rubbers should be banned.
Trouble is Cheap Brad Marchand Shirt , it very hard to test if a rubber is treated or not. Because most of the treated pimples were designed to have little to no friction on the tips, the ITTF proposed to simply set a minimum friction level for long pimpled rubber, anything below it would be illegal. A device that could measure the friction coefficient was not too hard to design, and could be used at tournament for testing. They admitted that this may result in some non-treated rubber to be banned as well Cheap Tuukka Rask Shirt , but this did not seem to bother them.
Since this announcement there has been very little information or discussions by the ITTF, although it's is a very common topic among long pimple players. Players that are currently using frictionless are lost, and can't plan their future rubbers because they fear it might be banned. Similarly manufacturers don't know what criteria to use to design new, or modify their existing long pimples to meet the new criteria. Retailers don't know what to stock Cheap Patrice Bergeron Shirt , since any banned rubbers will be very hard to sell.
Firstly I question the reasoning behind the actual proposal. Long pimple players are already a minority, frictionless players even smaller, so can it really be in the interest of the players and the sport in general to ban these rubbers? I know there have been a few letters written to the ITTF with objections to the proposed ban. Most of these were ignored because they did not come through the right channels. Some have been discussed in the ITTF forum, but I have not seen a solid reason that makes a real case for me.
The ITTF feels justified by the decision Cheap Jake DeBrusk Jersey , since the proposal was initiated by players themselves. However I wonder how many long pimple players were part of this proposal by players? Where they even consulted or given an opportunity to defend their position? Since long pimple players are a minority, they only have a small voice. Many inverted players may not care about this decision, or are happy because they struggle playing against this type of rubber. But is this a good enough reason for the ITTF to ban them? It's a right of the players that's being taken away here, and this should not be taken lightly!
Secondly I think it's outrageous that the ITTF proposal was made so long ago Cheap Charlie McAvoy Jersey , and still no more details have been provided. It's left manufacturers, retailers and most importantly PLAYERS in limbo for a long time!
