Flamengo right-back Leonardo Moura was discharged from the hospital this morning (January 8th) and is at home. Yesterday (January 7th), the player underwent surgery to remove a small tumor from his right nostril and will now be resting. According to him, a reevaluation is scheduled for tomorrow (January 9th), and Dr. Augusto César Lima, who performed the surgery, assured that the procedure was successful. Moura expects to return to training on Thursday (January 14th) and begin his preparation for the season. The right-back expects to be available for coach Andrade for the match against Bangu in the third round of the Campeonato Carioca.

"I'm fine, I'm not in any pain, and my nose is just a little swollen. The doctor will re-evaluate me tomorrow and assured me that the surgery was successful. I have to rest now and I believe I'll be able to return to training on Thursday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to help Flamengo in their opening match of the Campeonato Carioca, and I want to prepare well because we're also competing in the Copa Libertadores this year. I think I'll be ready to return to the team for the third game of the State Championship," said the full-back.

Léo Moura took the opportunity to thank his Flamengo teammates and executives for their kindness, especially president Patrícia Amorim, who called to wish him a speedy recovery. He also thanked friends and fans for their support, who sent numerous emails.

"I already knew he was a beloved figure at Flamengo, but I was touched by the affection I received from everyone at the club. My friends and many fans also showed their support, and I'd like to thank everyone," said the player.
