Lucas Moura has not yet returned to the field, but he continues to closely follow São Paulo. After the defeat to LDU, 2-0, this Thursday in Quito, in the first leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals, the tricolor idol sent a message of support to the team, adopting an optimistic tone.
“There are still 90 minutes. Nothing is over! Now it's in our house! Club of Faith,” the player wrote on his social media.

Lucas Moura is recovering from arthroscopy on his right knee and may strengthen São Paulo in the return match against LDU, next Thursday, at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Morumbi.
The Tricolor will need a victory by three goals to qualify for the Libertadores semi-final in regular time. A win by two goals will take the decision to penalties. The Ecuadorians only need a draw or even a one-goal defeat to advance in the competition.
Besides Lucas, São Paulo was also without Calleri (surgery on the left knee), Ryan Francisco (surgery on the left knee), Oscar (physical transition after fracturing three lumbar vertebrae), André Silva (posterior cruciate ligament injury and anterior cruciate ligament strain in the right knee) and Luiz Gustavo (cleared to return to training starting this Saturday).
