Tributes have been flooding in for Lucas Leiva after the former Liverpool man announced his immediate retirement from professional football.
Leiva made 346 appearances for the Reds across a 10-year stay on Merseyside. He made the announcement about his retirement on social media on Friday night.
The former Brazil international, who temporarily stepped away from the game after a heart issue was detected during pre-season testing with boyhood club Gremio in December, departed Liverpool for Lazio in Serie A during the 2017 summer transfer window.
