Just 20 years after the legendary injury of Santiago Canizares, who had missed the World Cup after trying to catch up with his foot a bottle of perfume falling on the ground (severed tendon), Lucas Paqueta has just made his own level unusual injury.
The Brazilian attacking midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais announced on his social networks, on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, that he was going to undergo “a minor surgery”. The reason ? “I went kite-flying and I cut my finger”, assumes, with a photo all smiles, Lucas Paqueta.
Not sure that OL leaders and Peter Bosz, who will resume training next week with his group, laughed when they heard the improbable news. Fortunately for the 24-year-old, who has become essential with the Seleçao, the World Cup in Qatar will not start until November 21.
