Lucca in serious car crash after leaving São Paulo CT, fracture feared | OneFootball

Forward Lucca was involved in a traffic accident on the afternoon of this Saturday (1st) while returning from the Barra Funda training center, where he had taken part in a São Paulo practice match against Ituano, when his vehicle crashed near his residence.

The youngster developed at Cotia was promptly assisted by his mother and taken to a local hospital, where he remains under observation and is undergoing detailed medical evaluations.

Lucca’s condition

Preliminary information indicates that the São Paulo player has not suffered serious injuries, although there is suspicion of a jaw fracture caused by the impact of the airbag deployment.

According to reports, the forward showed signs of disorientation and incoherent speech shortly after the crash, but he was not driving at high speed at the time.

The athlete’s clinical condition is being monitored by the medical teams and the club’s department to determine the treatment protocol.

He reportedly arrived at the hospital conscious, and the tests will assess in detail the injuries he suffered in the accident. Lucca may need surgery to repair the fracture, if it is indeed confirmed by imaging exams.

Played in practice match

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

The Tricolor’s session at the training center was only for players who had been little used by 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, with two goals scored. Watch here.
