Lyanco speaks out after injury blow: “A very sad time for me and my family”

Defender Lyanco spoke out for the first time after Atlético confirmed last Thursday (09) that he suffered a complete rupture of his left Achilles tendon. The defender used his social media to thank everyone for their support and to show faith in the face of this difficult moment.

“I will undergo surgery on my Achilles tendon, where I had a complete rupture! God knows all things, even without understanding, I continue to trust in the one who guides me,” wrote the player in a post on Instagram.

Lyanco also highlighted the pain of having to interrupt a good moment wearing the black-and-white shirt:

A sad moment, a very sad one for me, my family, who, regardless of everything, were living very happily and honored by my time at Galo! As a leader, captain, everyone can count on me! I will always be here.

The post quickly received support from teammates and fans. Hulk, Everson, Cuello, and Scarpa left messages of encouragement for the defender.

“You’ll come back even stronger, brother! Focus on your recovery,” wrote Hulk.
“A lot of strength and wisdom in this moment. You’ll come back stronger!” said goalkeeper Everson.
“We’re in this together, bro! You’ll come back better and stronger,” commented Cuello.
“You’ll come back stronger, leke!! God bless, bro,” added Scarpa.

Recovery

According to Atlético’s official statement, Lyanco will undergo surgery in the coming days. The club did not provide a timeline for his return, but injuries of this type usually require between six and ten months of recovery.

The defender had been one of the main leaders of the squad, wearing the captain’s armband in matches under the command of Jorge Sampaoli. Now, he begins a long rehabilitation process, with the support of the medical department and his teammates.

“As a leader, captain, everyone can count on me! I will always be here”, the player reiterated in his temporary farewell message from the pitch.
