Lucarelli
Lucarelli who was out of the World Nations League due recover from an Achilles tendon injury suffered during 2017/2018 Superliga, said he is not yet ready to help the Brazilian team in a competition as important as the World Championship:
“Little time left to the start of the competition and I do not feel yet at an adequate level to help the National team at the World Championship. I’m already training and playing, but it’s still far from what we need to deliver in an intense, long championship with very strong teams and very complicated games,” said Lucarelli.
The medical team of Brazil national team and Lucarelli’s club, EMS Taubaté Funvic were in contact during the player’s recovery process and met a month ago when they concluded that he was not in a position to serve the Brazilian team.
