Lucas to follow individual programme, misses São Paulo v Atlético-MG clash | OneFootball

The forward Lucas Moura has returned to the list of absentees for São Paulo for the match against Atlético-MG this Sunday at Morumbi, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The game kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).

According to the club, the player will follow an individualized schedule for strengthening and load management. For this reason, he was not even included in the lineup for the game against Galo.

The number 7 was in the process of rehabilitation after suffering a strain in the posterior capsule of his right knee. However, he played in the last four matches for Tricolor Paulista.

One of São Paulo's main players, Lucas has been struggling with physical problems this season. He has played in only 17 of the 46 matches the team has contested in 2025. As a result, the athlete joins other injured players, Luiz Gustavo, Calleri, Ryan, Oscar, Wendell, Arboleda, and Alisson among the absentees.

Tricolor comes into the clash against Atlético-MG buoyed by their qualification for the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. Additionally, the São Paulo team has not been defeated in the Brasileirão for seven matches.

The team has gained momentum since the arrival of coach Hernán Crespo and occupies the eighth position in the table, with 29 points. If they win, they could enter the G6.

Atlético-MG, on the other hand, also comes from a qualification over Godoy Cruz in the Copa Sudamericana but is seeking a comeback in the Brasileiro. Galo has not won in two rounds and has dropped to 11th place, with 24 points.
