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 spent only 20 minutes on the field against Bahia as he was returning to action after being sidelined for nearly two months while recovering from fractures to 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.
