On April 7 BST, the Brazilian media outlet Lifestyle Sports came with the news that soccer superstar Ickxon has set foot in Porto Alegre and has started a difficult rehabilitation journey with the Gremio club.
In the near future, Gremio officials will announce the addition of the former Brazilian international, and the club has crafted a tailored rehabilitation program for Ickerson given his recent lack of regular training and play.
Iverson will complete his recovery training alone under the guidance of a coach, having not stepped on the field since last November. The former striker made an appearance at the team's pre-training coach's address on Wednesday before putting in a physical recovery session.
It's worth noting that because Ickerson has changed his nationality to Chinese, his joining must go through a series of cumbersome registration procedures. As a foreigner, he will need a work permit, a Brazilian residence permit and a series of necessary documents. This means that the process of joining the club will be longer than expected, and Gremio officials will make an official announcement once all the formalities are completed.
According to Gremio, Elkeson, renamed "Ekerson", a player who has left a brilliant footprint on the soccer scene in China, still harbors the dream of playing for the Chinese team and is actively preparing for the 2026 World Cup qualifying cycle.
