Lucas Silva, the Brazilian forward who is currently on loan at Inter Miami CF, has suffered a setback in his recovery from an injury he sustained during a match against Toronto FC last month.

According to reports, Silva has been diagnosed with a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and will require surgery to repair it. This news comes as a major blow for Inter Miami, who had high hopes for Silva's return after he missed the majority of last season due to injury.

Silva's injury means that he will be out of action for several months, which could have a significant impact on Inter Miami's chances of success this season. The team is already without key players such as Cristian Roldan and Diego Valeri, so any further setbacks could prove difficult to overcome.

Despite the setback,Campeonato Brasileiro Action Inter Miami coach David Villa remains optimistic about Silva's long-term prospects. "We're going to work hard to get him back to 100%," said Villa. "He's one of our best players and we need him to help us achieve our goals."

In the meantime, Inter Miami will turn to their other forwards to fill the void left by Silva's absence. Jonathan Gonzalez, who scored four goals in his first two matches since returning from injury, will likely see more playing time as a result of Silva's injury.

Overall, Silva's injury is a major disappointment for Inter Miami and their fans, but the team will continue to work hard to find ways to replace his contributions on the pitch.
