Lyanco suffers injury, set for surgery | OneFootball

This Thursday, after undergoing imaging exams, Atlético-MG confirmed that defender Lyanco has suffered a rupture of his left Achilles tendon. The player will undergo surgical procedure in the coming days.

Returning to the squad after serving a suspension against Fluminense, Lyanco had to leave the field against Sport still in the first half, after feeling severe pain in his left foot following a contested cross in the box and falling awkwardly, injuring himself without contact.

Recently, Lyanco suffered a left thigh injury and had to stay off the pitch for almost a month, missing six matches for Atlético-MG. This time, he will begin treatment after surgery, but there is no set recovery time.

Galo returns to the field next Wednesday, when they face Cruzeiro in a match valid for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte.
