It appears that Fenerbahçe is going to be without its captain for the world's biggest derby. According to a report Wednesday, Alex will likely miss Sunday's match against Galatasaray. The Brazilian star has been suffering from a groin injury for several weeks, but team doctors don't feel he'll be ready in time for Sunday's derby.

According to a report from Turkish television network Lig TV, Alex will likely miss Sunday's derby against Galatasaray. The star was injured three weeks ago and has been unable to play or practice with the team during this time.

Fenerbahçe administrators wanted Alex to see a former team doctor for Bayern Munich, but the specialist is away on holiday and unable to evaluate him. Alex is currently undergoing an intensive treatment with Fener doctors but is still unable to resume playing football. A final decision on Alex's status for Sunday is expected to be made on Friday.
