He was later transported to São Paulo via helicopter to begin his recovery and recuperation.
"Hello Brazilian people, players, coaches and fans, all of you. This is a very hard moment. I lack the words to express what is going through my head and through my heart.
I want to tell you that I’ll return to the field as soon as possible. Before you can blink I’ll be back. I would like to thank you all for your support and affection that you have for me, All that you wrote, the messages, everything, and say that my dream has not ended yet, it was interrupted by a move, but it is still alive.
I’m sure that my partners will do anything so that I can achieve my dream, which is to be a champion. My dream also was to play a World Cup final, but it’s not going to be possible this time. But I’m sure that my partners will win and be champions along with me, I’ll be there, and we Brazilians will be celebrating all this.
Thanks all. Hug!"
