Lucas Silva is currently sidelined with an injury that has caused him to miss the majority of Internacional's recent matches.
The Brazilian midfielder was injured during a match against América de Natal on January 29th, and has been unable to return to action since then. The exact nature of his injury remains unknown at this time, but it is believed to be serious enough to require surgery.
Silva has been a key player for Internacional in recent years, and his absence has been felt both on and off the pitch. He has made over 150 appearances for the club, scoring 26 goals and providing numerous assists along the way.
Despite the setback, Internacional have remained focused on their remaining fixtures, with coach Jairzinho stating that he will not rush Silva back into action until he is fully recovered.
It remains to be seen when Lucas Silva will be able to return to action, but it is clear that he will need time to fully recover before he can be fit to play again. In the meantime, Internacional will rely on their other midfielders to step up and fill the void left by Silva's absence.
