If his arrival in mid-2023 was surrounded by excitement, crowned with an unprecedented Copa do Brasil title for São Paulo, the last few months for Lucas Moura at the club have been quite complicated.

On Thursday (28),Tricolor confirmed that the attacking midfielder will need to undergo a new and simple surgical procedure on his right knee, an arthroscopy due to a partial ligament injury and a lesion in the posterior capsule at the site.

A man of great faith, Lucas has never hidden the difficult days he has been living away from the fields for São Paulo, including due to thedelay in the total recovery of his injury, which occurred on March 10, still in the Paulistão.

But on this Friday (29), the number 7 tricolor expressed himself on his social networks, posting only a message of faith:"The Lord God will go before you; he himself will be with you and will not leave you, will not abandon you. Do not be frightened, nor be afraid".

Due to the constant discomfort felt by Lucas,the São Paulo Medical Department decided to carry out a new procedure to check for fibrosis at the site or a healing problem, since the corticosteroid-based treatment did not have the expected effect for the athlete.

Now,Tricolor is working internally to have its star for the return match of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against LDU, on September 25 (Thursday), at Morumbi.

ATYPICAL INJURY THAT LASTS 5 MONTHS

Tricolor treats this injury of its main player as atypical. He was three months away from the fields due to a stretch of the posterior capsule of the right knee, in the classic against Palmeiras, still on March 10, for the semifinal of the Paulistão.

In May, he returned to play for 55 minutes in two matches, but could not stand it. Thus, in July, Lucas Moura underwent an infiltration due to constant pain at the injury site. Finally, only in this month of August, the number 7 returned to the games, gaining few minutes against Vitória in the Brasileirão.

Then, he played three more matches, never playing more than 45 minutes, and was again missing against Atlético-MG, in a victory at Morumbi in the last round for the Nacional.
