Lucas Moura's Latest Injury Update: Status and Expected Return at São Paulo

Updated:2026-01-12 06:31    Views:175

Lucas Moura has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a right ankle ligament injury during Brazil's 2-1 win over Uruguay in their Copa America group stage match.

The 28-year-old defender is currently sidelined and will be replaced by fellow Brazilian defender Raphael Guerreiro, who made his international debut against Argentina last month.

Moura was signed to the Brazil squad ahead of this year's World Cup but struggled to break into the national team's starting lineup due to injuries.

Despite his struggles with injury, Moura remains a key player for Santos FC and he will be hoping that his recovery will allow him to return to action soon.

Guerreiro, who has played for several clubs including Santos and Porto, will also be a valuable addition to the Brazilian side.

However, it remains to be seen how long Moura will be out of action and whether he can regain his form before returning to action. The club have already announced that they will not be able to use the player until March 5th, which means that he may need to wait another month or more before he returns to training and compete for a spot on the Brazil national team.
