Luan undergoes thigh procedure, remains sidelined for São Paulo | OneFootball

São Paulo brought updates this Wednesday regarding the medical condition of midfielder Luan. The club announced that the player underwent a procedure to remove calcification in the adductor muscle of the right thigh.

Luan was discharged from the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital this afternoon and will begin the recovery process at REFFIS Plus, São Paulo's sports rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and physiological center.

The midfielder has not played since September 21, when he was injured during a classic match against Santos at Vila Belmiro.

Remember Luan's Injury

In September, Luan suffered a injury to the adductor muscle of the right thigh. During the classic match against Santos at Vila Belmiro, the midfielder was given a chance as a starter but had to be substituted around the 11th minute of the second half.

Since then, Luan has been undergoing treatment for the muscle injury at REFFIS Plus, but there had been no medical updates from São Paulo.

In the current season, Luan has played seven matches for São Paulo, with two as a starter – all under Hernán Crespo. He has not yet contributed with goals or assists.

São Paulo's Situation

The Tricolor faces Fluminense this Thursday at 8:30 PM at Maracanã, for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship. Currently, Crespo's team is in eighth place in the competition, with 48 points – seven points behind Fluminense, which is in seventh place and the first team in the Libertadores qualification zone.
