Well Brenda said he felt his thigh in warm up when taking a shot. So I presume thats why as soon as he felt it during the game, we got Shelvey on.
According to the official site, Lucas felt a tightness in his thigh and couldn't continue. He will be assessed today.
He doesn't sound too happy from twitter last night: "Thanks all the message. I am devastated but I need to put my head right and see in the next few days how bad was. Good night ." http://es.twitter.com/LucasLeiva87 Just hope its a little insignificant tweak.
When he came off I was a wreck, I said we are going to lose this. My Mrs told me to pull myself together. It was refreshing to see us control the midfield without him, and Sahin to come in as well. Things are looking up.
look, you can feel for the ad but he should never have started the game and its just emotional for him. a thigh strain is usually just 1-2weeks... not a big thing.
