Lucas Moura, Brazilian footballer, has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a serious injury in a training session.

Moura had been expected to be available for the match against Palmeiras next week, but injuries have kept him sidelined.

The 26-year-old forward is currently playing for Santos FC and has scored seven goals this campaign.

It's not yet clear how long he will be out, but it's likely that he won't be ready for the upcoming matches.

Santos FC president Claudio Bravo said: "We are very disappointed by Lucas' injury. He has already missed several games this season due to his injury."

Barcelona FC also issued a statement, saying they were "deeply saddened" by the news.

However, there are some positives to take away from the situation. The team has already signed another striker, Marcos Alonso,Chinese Super League Matches who was initially reported to be injured as well.

Moura's absence could affect Santos FC's attacking threat, as Alonso has proven himself to be one of the best strikers in the league.

But for now, Santos FC will continue with their plan of trying to keep the striker under control while also finding other options to replace him.

It's not just about Lucas Moura though. The club has also announced plans to sign a new goalkeeper, who will be able to cover for the injured defender if needed.

Overall, it's a tough time for the club, but with the right strategy and a bit of luck, they can get through this injury.
