As expected, Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has been ruled out for the rest of the season through
injury.
The club site released following statement a few minutes ago:
"A scan has confirmed an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in Lucas Leiva's left knee.
The swelling went down, the MRI was done, and the news came back confirming the worst fears and
least palatable rumours: Lucas Leiva will be out, at best, for the remainder of the season after
injuring his ACL. This is, of course, horrible news for the player himself, whose development into
one of the best holding midfielders in world football had finally seen a long overdue shift in
public and media opinion.
