On Sunday night, São Paulo used social media to announce that the attacking midfielder had been diagnosed with a COMPLETE RUPTURE of the Achilles tendon in his right leg.
Tricolor’s No. 7 will undergo surgery to repair the injury as early as this Monday (4) and is expected to return to the pitch only in 2027.
Lucas Moura had been on the field for only 20 minutes against Bahia, as he was returning to action after being sidelined for nearly two months while recovering from fractures in two ribs suffered on March 18 against Atlético-MG.
After receiving treatment on the pitch at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista, the attacking midfielder had to be carried by his São Paulo teammates to the locker room.
