Former Brazil captain Gomes was reportedly suffering head pains during the second half of Vasco’s 0-0 draw in the Rio derby and was taken to hospital by the team doctor Clovis Munhoz.
Munhoz later confirmed that Gomes had undergone surgery and that there is still unease over his condition.
Munhoz said: “His condition is of concern.
“The initial treatment is a surgical treatment to relieve the haemorrhaging, so there’s a minimum possible suffering of the cerebral tissue.”
Vasco play Ceara at home tomorrow night and it is likely Gomes will not be able to attend and casts doubt over his future with the club.
