Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has sent a heart-warming message to Lucas Leiva after he announced his retirement from football.
The former Reds midfielder announced on Friday that he would be retiring from professional football with immediate effect due to a heart condition. He has not played since December, after being told to take a step back from playing while his condition was assessed.
In an emotional press conference, Lucas explained his decision to retire from football, where he also paid thanks to his former clubs, including Liverpool. The 36-year-old had been playing with his first club Gremio in Brazil prior to his retirement.
