De Souza faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken collarbone at Chelmsford on Friday.
De Sousa was on board Alnadir, trained by Simon Crisford, when squeezed up in racing, falling ahead the final furlong.
De Souza was taken to hospital following the incident, where a broken collarbone and fractures to his back were sustained, that could see him out for up to six weeks.
Trainer Crisford reports three-year-old gelding Alnadir suffered cuts and bruises: “Aldinir seems okay. It was a nasty fall – I thought at the time the horse was lucky to get away with a few cuts.
“Silvestre was extremely lucky that his injuries weren’t worse,” said Crisford.
De Sousa is currently third in the 2019 Flat jockey race title, behind Oisin Murphy and Danny Tudhope.
