Lucas sidelined with knee discomfort, set for arthroscopy at São Paulo | OneFootball

Recovering from a right knee injury, Lucas Moura has been complaining of pain in the area and will undergo a new arthroscopic exam to assess healing at the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital next Saturday, announced São Paulo.

Lucas Moura was sidelined for about three months in 2025 due to a partial ligament injury and a strain in the posterior capsule of his right knee and, since his return, had only been brought on in the second half.

Because of this injury, São Paulo’s medical department and coach Hernán Crespo decided to implement an individualized strengthening and load management schedule to fully recover the number 7.

The forward missed the Tricolor’s win over Atlético-MG last Sunday, and was already a confirmed absence for the match against Cruzeiro this Saturday at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship at Mineirão.

So far, Lucas has participated in only 17 of São Paulo’s 46 matches this season.
