Lucas Verissimo, who underwent surgery last November on his right knee, was observed by the doctor who performed the operation, and he did not hide his optimism.
“We are coming to the end of the process. I wanted to hear from him what I heard that everything is going well, that we can continue to progress in the work and that we are nearing the end,” said the 27-year-old Brazilian defender, having received the news of the opportunity to enter the last phase of recovery with work on gradual reintegration into training, which will take place in the month of August.
“The only thing I wanted to hear is that I’m already close to coming back, close to doing what I love… I can’t wait to work with teammates again because I have been doing individual for eight months now. training .. Time is running out,” he congratulated himself, not hiding his enthusiasm before the last stage of the rehabilitation plan: “I have already given all the best for 100 percent, I’m going for 200, 300, I’m going to give even more, because I want to return well, to have opportunity to give it your all.”
Benfica also released the words of Joan Carles Monllau, the surgeon who operated on the defender eight months ago. “The right leg has very good strength. We need a little more muscle, this is the last stage,” he explained, giving advice to the player for this new stage: “I don’t want to run faster. You have lasted so long and by the end of August you are perfect, if there are no complications, which I do not expect, because you look great.
