Lucas Leiva now, maybe forced to quit

Thread moved as a couple of City fans got all precious because I added this story to the Aguero thread

Former Liverpool midfielderLucas Leivahas revealed a heart problem that has forced him out of pre-season training with Brazilian side Gremio.

Lucas is heading into his second season back with Gremio, having helped lead his boyhood club back to the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, with a rare goal helping clinch promotion.

But the 35-year-old will not be part of preparations for the 2023 campaign, after routine tests revealed a heart complication.

In a post on Twitter on Tuesday, Lucas relayed information from the Porto Alegre club which detailed an “alteration of the cardiac rhythm” which will require further tests and treatment.

The statement reads:

“The Gremio Medical Department communicates that the athleteLucas Leivapresented, in the pre-season routine exams, a picture of alteration of the cardiac rhythm and, consequently, is removed from physical activities until the conclusion of complementary exams and treatment of the picture.”

It is a concerning development for Lucas, who has received messages of support in the wake of his diagnosis, including from Liverpool:

Pretty gutting for him really but his health should come first. Hopefully he gets good news from all these tests.
