Lucca breaks jaw in car crash, good news on São Paulo winger | OneFootball

After crashing his car on the way back from São Paulo’s training center to his home on Saturday afternoon (1), forward Lucca was promptly taken to Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein.

The Tricolor player underwent a series of tests and was diagnosed with a jaw fracture, which will be treated conservatively following the recommendation of a maxillofacial specialist, with no need for surgery.

Lucca received stitches near the chin area and, according to the club, was discharged later that same Saturday night.

The young winger will now continue under the care of São Paulo’s medical department and will continue treatment with a specialist next Monday (3), becoming another absence for Dorival Júnior.

Scare and tension

According to reports, the forward appeared disoriented and was speaking incoherently right after the crash, although he was not driving at high speed at the time of the accident. Lucca arrived at the hospital conscious after being helped by his mother and might have needed surgery depending on the severity of the injury, but that possibility was ruled out.

Lucca was on the field at Barra Funda this morning for a training match against Ituano, won by São Paulo 4-0, where the winger was more closely observed by Dorival Júnior.

Training at the club’s training center was only for players who had seen little action under Dorival Júnior in recent matches, such as Lucca, other youth academy players, and names with few opportunities. Forward Ryan Francisco was the standout of the session, scoring two goals.
