Liverpool’s Lucas Leiva knee surgery is a success
Liverpool FC midfielder Lucas Leiva is on the mend after surgery on his injured knee which has ruled him out of the entire 2011/2012 season.
The Brazilian star declared on Twitter that he had gone through a successful surgical procedure in his home country, and the 24 year old will now set about a 6 month therapy plan which could see him needing the usage of ligament knee support to get back to full fitness.
On the micro-blogging site, he explained: ““I’m feeling good and I hope to recover as soon as possible. Thank you all for the messages.” Lucas picked up the injury during the Reds’ 2 – 0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a Carling Cup conflict at the end of November.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish says that even though it is a blow that your club’s Player of the Year is going to be out for such a long time, the team will continue to play well.
He told the BBC: “It is a huge disappointment for everybody but more importantly for Lucas. It is at times like this you are tested but we have been happy with the squad and the results reflect that.”
“We are disappointed he has picked up an injury but it is not career-threatening”, Dalglish continued. “Lucas is not moping about feeling sorry for himself. We can do that, we can feel sorry for him.”
