Lucas Paquetá’s recovery after a thigh injury is detailed by his wife while on leave in the USA
Duda Fournier, wife of midfielder Lucas Paquetá, released records of the Brazilian national team athlete’s rehabilitation phase, taking advantage of the break in the team’s commitments in the United States.
Exams carried out on Tuesday, after Brazil’s triumph over Japan in the second stage of the World Cup, diagnosed an injury to the back of the player’s left thigh. The injury will rule him out of the round of 16 clash against Norway.
During the treatment period, Paquetá is using a pneumatic boot in the residence where his family lives in the United States. This essential equipment for the recovery of athletes, works through air compression to massage feet and legs, accelerating blood circulation and reducing swelling, essential for a quick return in high-level competitions such as the World Cup.
Since the injury was identified, the player has followed a strict intensive recovery protocol under the supervision of the national team’s medical team. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) informed that the objective is to enable their return to the pitch in the shortest possible time.
After the news broke, the athlete expressed himself on his social networks, sharing biblical verses and a message of resilience: “Faith… I’ve experienced this before.” The phrase suggests confidence in your ability to overcome, perhaps referring to previous challenges in your career.
The Brazilian team will have its next challenge against Norway on Sunday, at 5 pm, in a match valid for the round of 16 of the World Cup, which will take place in New Jersey.
