How was Lucas’s injury?
The striker crashed into Allianz Parque’s synthetic lawn in the defeat of Sao Paulo 1-0 for Palmeiras, for the semifinal of the Paulista Championship, on March 11.
After that, it only entered the field only twice: for 25 minutes against Fortaleza, on May 2, and for 29 minutes against Alianza Lima on May 6th. And returned to the medical department.
– It’s hard to dig (which the synthetic lawn caused injury). There is no way to know. What I can say is that it was a very big impact. The doctors told me that it was a “panel trauma,” which they call, “panel injury.” Like when you are driving a car, crashes and the car panel hits very hard here on this knee. explained the player.
– That’s what happened. When I fell, I hit very strong on the floor and ended up causing a lot of pain. The next day I could not even bend the right leg. It is difficult to know if on the natural lawn would have less impact or not. These are things that we can’t dig – concluded.
Lucas went through all the recovery phases of an injured athlete in recent months: he was handed over to the medical department and gradually did activities accompanied by professionals from the physiotherapy of São Paulo on the Barra Funda CT lawn.
