Lucas Moura vows to overcome injury: "I'll win this battle too" | OneFootball

This Thursday, midfielder Lucas Moura spoke out after the injury he suffered in the defeat to Atlético-MG last Wednesday, during the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship. The number 7 of São Paulo, who fractured two ribs in a clash with Cuello, expressed his gratitude for the support and messages of affection.

The Injury

With the score at 1-0 for Atlético-MG, Lucas tried to advance with the ball in the attacking field and was brought down by Alan Franco. As he fell, he was hit in the back by Cuello’s knee, who was sliding across the pitch. The stretcher was brought onto the field and carefully removed the São Paulo player.

Lucas underwent imaging exams at Mater Dei Hospital in Belo Horizonte. According to São Paulo, the player suffered fractures in two ribs. After being discharged from the hospital, the attacking midfielder will return to São Paulo’s capital to undergo treatment.

Lucas, therefore, will definitely miss the derby against Palmeiras, scheduled for 9 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday, in the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship, at Morumbis Stadium. With both teams tied, the match will decide the leadership of the national tournament.

“As everyone already knows, unfortunately I ended up fracturing two ribs in yesterday’s game. It was a big scare, but thank GOD it wasn’t anything more serious.

I want to thank everyone from the medical team involved in the game and also the staff at Mater Dei Hospital who took great care of me.

I also thank each message of support and affection.

I believe that GOD has a purpose for everything, that He knows everything, takes care of His children, and that none of His plans can be frustrated.

I will overcome this battle and soon I’ll be back, because I know who fights for me, CHRIST, He is my hope 🙏🏽💪🏽

Meanwhile, I will continue supporting and helping my teammates however I can. 🔴⚪️⚫️
