Former Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has been advised to stay away from high-level activity for three months after a possible cardiac issue was detected during a routine medical scan.
Lucas, 35, spent ten years at Liverpool between 2007 and 2017 and established himself as a fan favourite during those years as he made 346 appearances for the club and was part of the squad that won the 2012 League Cup. He departed Anfield after just one full season under manager Jurgen Klopp to join Serie A side Lazio in a £5m deal.
However, after leaving the Rome-based side earlier this year upon the expiration of his contract at the Stadio Olimpico, the midfielder made a return to his boyhood club Gremio, whom he departed 15 years earlier to make his first move to Europe.
