Brazilian defender Alexsandro of Lille to undergo quadriceps surgery | OneFootball

The Brazilian defender Alexsandro will undergo surgery to treat a quadriceps injury in his right thigh, which has been bothering him since mid-September, announced Lille this Friday.

However, the French club did not disclose the date of the procedure and did not provide a timeline for the player's return.

“Alexsandro will undergo surgery on his right quadriceps in the coming days. The recovery time will be determined after the operation,” says the statement published by the Dogues' management.

A pillar of Lille's defense, the 26-year-old Brazilian suffered a muscle injury on September 14, during the 2-1 victory over Toulouse in the French Championship, and has not returned to the field since. The option to undergo surgery was not initially considered.

Alexsandro made his debut for the Brazilian National Team in June, after catching the attention of coach Carlo Ancelotti, who will not be able to count on him for the friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia next week.
