Recovered from the injury, Lucas Moura may return to the team in the next Monday’s match against Fluminense, at Morumbis, in the Brazilian Championship. The coaching staff will make the decision on the possible use of the athlete this weekend.
This Friday, Lucas Moura did not feel any discomfort in the training session. The athlete participated in a small-sided activity on the field. In the next few days, the attacking midfielder will face physically more demanding training sessions, in the open field. Thus, coach Luis Zubeldía will evaluate if he will be in playing condition for next Monday.
