Ganso could be out until 2013, says physio

 RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Brazil midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso could be forced to wait until next year to make his debut¹ for new club Sao Paulo.

Ganso, who joined the Brazilian top division outfit² last week for 12 million US dollars, is still struggling with a left thigh³ injury suffered while playing for former club Santos last month.

"Our objective is that he returns this year but it's not possible to confirm that this is going to happen," Sao Paulo's physiotherapist Luis Rosan told Radio Globo on Friday.

"He will only resume training when he is no longer feeling pain and the muscle has fully⁴ healed."

Injury has limited Ganso to just five out of a possible 26 matches in Brazil's Serie A championship this season.

In May he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery before suffering a thigh strain - unrelated to the current injury - while representing Brazil at the London Olympics.
