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

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

The young player 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.

How Lucca is doing

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

According to reports, the forward appeared disoriented and was speaking incoherently right after the collision, but he was not driving at high speed at the time of the accident.

The athlete’s condition is being monitored by the medical staff 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.

He played in the training match

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

The Tricolor’s session at the training center was only for players who have been used little by Dorival Júnior in recent matches, such as Lucca, other youth academy players, and others with few opportunities. Forward Ryan Francisco was the standout of the session, scoring two goals. Watch here.
