Ayrton Lucas goes off in tears after early injury in Flamengo v RB Bragantino | OneFootball

Ayrton Lucas suffered an early injury during Flamengo’s match against RB Bragantino at the Maracanã on Sunday.

Inside four minutes, after a collision with Fernando, he clutched the back of his left thigh, according to Globo.com. He left the pitch in tears.

The left-back stayed down and could not get to his feet as Bragantino continued an attack, creating a clear opening. Herrera was denied near the six-yard box by Léo Ortiz.

He received swift treatment on the pitch, and Flamengo’s medical staff signalled that a change was needed. Alex Sandro came on in his place.

Ayrton Lucas had started 11 consecutive matches, a run that followed a recent injury suffered by Alex Sandro.
