Son Heung-min (34, LA FC)'s teammate Lucas Moura (33, Sao Paulo) was rushed to the hospital after suffering a terrible injury during the game.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 19th (local time) that "Maura was carried off on a stretcher on Wednesday after suffering from a serious rib injury in Brazil's Serie A match against Atlético de Janeiro."

Moura, who started the game on the bench, stepped on the ground in the 15th minute of the second half as a substitute. But his game didn't last long.

During the competition with his opponent, Thomas Kuehlo, he was hit in the face by his opponent's knee and then fell strongly to the floor. In the end, Moura collapsed on the Arena MRV pitch complaining of shortness of breath 12 minutes into the game, and was taken off on a stretcher and replaced by Gonzalo Tapia.

In an official statement, the Sao Paulo club announced the extent of Moura's injury. Lucas, who suffered a trauma, conducted an imaging test at Mater Dei Hospital in Beluorijonchi and was diagnosed with two fractured ribs, the club said.

"The player is currently examining his condition at the hospital, and is waiting for permission from the medical staff to return to Sao Paulo and continue treatment," he added.

Meanwhile, Moura is a player remembered as a 'hero' by Tottenham fans. He scored a dramatic hat trick in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) semifinal away match against Ajax in 2019. Tottenham, which overturned the 0-2 inferiority of the first leg with this goal, advanced to the final for the first time in the club's history.

In particular, Mowra is familiar to domestic soccer fans as a close old colleague of Son Heung-min. When he was at Tottenham, he led the team's heyday by playing an axis of the offense with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, and he shared a deep friendship with Son Heung-min on and off the ground.

When Moura left Tottenham in 2023, Son Heung-min expressed deep regret and affection on his social media (SNS), saying, "It was a privilege to play with you."
