How do you rate Lucas’s season for São Paulo? Vote! | OneFootball

The forward Lucas Moura had a frustrating season at São Paulo. The number 7 started the year as one of the team's main hopes in terms of goals and assists, but was hindered by a series of injuries and ended 2025 on a low note and injured again at the Tricolor. Now, the player continues treatment to regain good form and bring joy to the São Paulo fans in 2026.

Lucas began the season as an important player, scoring in derbies and playing a direct role in São Paulo's qualification to the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista. However, he suffered a knee injury in the match against Palmeiras on March 10 and found it very difficult to recover from the problem. Since then, he has been unable to have a long sequence of games.

Initially, São Paulo announced a diagnosis of trauma to the right knee. However, the problem was more severe than announced, as the player was sidelined for about two months. When he returned in mid-May, the number 7 was clearly not 100%. Not surprisingly, he ended up having a recurrence. On May 14, the club announced a partial ligament injury associated with a strain of the posterior capsule of the region.

After undergoing treatment, the forward returned in August, but again did not take off due to discomfort in the knee. At various times, Lucas seemed to have limited movements, not taking advantage of his traditional sprints and pacing the game more. Despite the indication of conservative treatment, he needed to undergo an arthroscopy to remove fibrous tissue in the right knee at the end of August.

Recovered from surgery, Lucas returned to play for São Paulo on September 25 against LDU-EQU, in the Libertadores, and finally had a sequence longer than four games. He scored again against Vasco and ended the season with a series of seven consecutive matches, but was again hindered by pain in his right knee, which took him out of action for the last five rounds of the Brasileirão.

The fact is that injuries greatly affected Lucas Moura's season at São Paulo. The forward, when on the field, did not perform as expected, despite the limited movements due to knee pain. He missed 34 games due to injury out of the 66 played by the team in the year. He played only 26 matches, being a starter in 14, with five goals and one assist. A frustrating performance for someone who has delivered a lot to the Tricolor.
