Lucas turns to faith, hopeful for São Paulo return in Libertadores | OneFootball

Known for his deep faith that has always guided him in his career, Lucas Moura is experiencing tense days in the week of São Paulo's decisive match for the Copa Libertadores. On Thursday (25), the team hosts LDU from Ecuador at Morumbi, needing to overturn a two-goal deficit to advance to the semifinals of the competition.

The number 7 is racing against time. Each day, he makes progress in his recovery after undergoing surgery on his right knee, a condition that caused comings and goings until the removal of a fibrosis, which was causing pain for the tricolor. On the morning of this Monday (22), during the team's reappearance, another step was taken.

São Paulo announced that, on the field, the attacking midfielder Lucas worked with physical preparation and continued his progress after arthroscopy on his right knee. The internal hope is that he can at least be included for the match against LDU.

A passionate fan of the Tricolor since childhood, Lucas Moura always says he feels anxious and distressed for not being able to help the team on the field due to his injuries. Now, close to returning, he posted a message of faith on his social media that gives the right tone of what the idol is feeling.

“This week, choose to rest in His care. Do not let anxiety steal your peace, but hand over what you cannot control into God's hands. He opens doors where there is no way out, renews strength when we think of giving up, and turns tears into testimonies of victory.

Live this week remembering: you do not walk alone, the Lord goes before you. Walk in faith, trust the process, and wait for God's perfect action!”, posted the number 7 on his Instagram.

There are now only two more days of training until the big clash with LDU, where Lucas can show Crespo's staff that he can help, at least for a few minutes, or in a possible penalty shootout at Morumbi.
