Lucca fractures jaw in crash, but gets good news: São Paulo update | OneFootball

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

The Tricolor player underwent a series of tests and was diagnosed with a fractured jaw, which will be treated conservatively following the recommendation of an oral and 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 remain 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 was disoriented and 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 in Barra Funda this morning for a training match against Ituano, won 4-0 by São Paulo, where the winger was closely observed by Dorival Júnior.

The session at the training center was only for players who have seen limited action under Dorival Júnior in recent matches, such as Lucca, other youngsters from the academy, and players with few opportunities. Forward Ryan Francisco was the standout of the session, scoring twice.
