Former Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has announced his retirement from football at the age of 36.
The Brazilian had returned to his first professional club Gremio in June 2022, though has been forced to call time on his career due to a heart problem discovered during pre-season tests.
Lucas signed for Liverpool during the summer of 2007 and developed into a fan favourite during his time on Merseyside, respected by many for his tireless work ethic and professionalism at all times.
