Lucas Moura Has Successful Achilles Surgery Following Injury on São Paulo Return

The long layoff will force São Paulo to rethink its plans for the rest of the season.

Overview

  • Doctors at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein completed a successful Achilles repair Monday morning and expect to discharge him Tuesday.
  • São Paulo confirmed late Sunday that imaging showed a complete rupture of his right Achilles tendon.
  • The winger was hurt about 20 minutes into his comeback in the 2-2 draw with Bahia and left the field in tears unable to put weight on his foot.
  • With all substitutions used, São Paulo finished with ten men and conceded a stoppage-time equalizer.
  • Reports estimate a recovery of four to six months, with some saying up to a year, which could keep him out for most of 2026.
