The Vancouver Whitecaps have loaned midfielder Caio Alexandre to Fortaleza EC in Brazil, the club announced.

The loan will run through December as Alexandre heads back to Brazil after making just five appearances this season after dealing with injuries.

"Caio returns to a league he knows well and his team still has 16 games until the end of the year. After Caio has been unlucky with a few injuries, he now needs to see consistent minutes and we will follow his progress closely."
