In the rout over Braga, last Sunday, defender Lucas Veríssimo, from Benfica, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Due to this injury, the Brazilian will not play again this European season. On social media, the player thanked the fans for their support.
“It will be difficult months, with a lot of dedication and overcoming. Keep working to come back even stronger. Thanks everyone for the messages. Resilience!” he wrote.
The former Santos player is making his first season in the old continent and had already assumed the title of Jorge Jesus’ team.
In addition to defrauding Benfica, Veríssimo will also be low on the Brazilian team. The defender was summoned by Tite to Brazil’s commitments in November. However, it had to be cut, and Gabriel Magalhães, from Arsenal, was called in to replace the defender.
