Former Inter Milan defender Lucio has been admitted to a hospital in Brasilia following a domestic incident on Thursday. The Brazilian football star is currently in stable condition, conscious, and under constant medical supervision in the intensive care unit.
Reports from Italian media, including Gazzetta, indicate that Lucio suffered burns on various parts of his body due to an accident at his home. The exact details of the incident remain undisclosed.
Hospital Issues Statement on Lucio`s Condition
The hospital where Lucio is being treated has released an official statement to address public concerns. They have confirmed that the ex-Brazil international is “stable, conscious, and under constant observation,” providing reassurance to fans and well-wishers.
Lucio, a key player in Inter Milan`s historic treble-winning season in 2010, had an illustrious career in Italian football. During his time with Inter, he secured numerous titles including a Serie A championship, two Coppa Italia victories, a Champions League trophy, a Supercoppa, and a FIFA Club World Cup.
Interestingly, many of Lucio`s former teammates from the treble-winning Inter squad recently gathered in Milan to celebrate former club president Massimo Moratti`s 80th birthday.
After his successful stint with Inter, Lucio briefly joined Juventus in 2012 but made only one appearance before moving to Sao Paulo later that year. Throughout his time in Italy`s top flight, he scored three goals in 97 appearances. The talented defender eventually hung up his boots in 2019, bringing an end to a remarkable football career.
