Chilean striker on outer at Brazilian club

Xinhua, January 31, 2017 Adjust font size:

Former Chile international striker Gustavo Canales could leave Brazilian outfit Botafogo as he seeks to kickstart his stalled career.

Canales has scored just one goal from 11 appearances since joining the Rio de Janeiro outfit from Universidad de Chile in May last year.

His 2016 season was cut short by an ankle injury which required surgery in October and the 34-year-old is yet to fully recover, according to the Lance news outlet.

The newspaper said Canales had fallen behind Sassa and Roger on Botafogo manager Jair Ventura's list of preferred strikers.

Canales, who has also represented River Plate and Arsenal de Sarandi in a 14-year professional career, has been capped once for Chile's national team. Endti
