Treatment during quarantine did not solve Lazio Lucas Leiva's midfielder problems with meniscus.

Lucas Leiva has another knee surgery scheduled for August, reports Il Messaggero.

The recovery procedures that the 33-year-old Brazilian underwent during a pause in the championship did not bring the desired result, and now the defensive midfielder has to play “on injections” through pain.

It is still unknown whether Leiva will stop performing this season or will still help the team experiencing a personnel crisis as much as possible.

After three consecutive defeats, Lazio, who really claimed the championship, takes third place in the standings and 8 points behind Juventus.
