Lucas Silva is back in training after his latest injury, which has seen him miss the rest of the season.
The Brazilian star was ruled out for most of last year due to an ankle injury, but he returned to the field this month and has been training with the team ever since.
"I've been feeling better and I'm looking forward to getting back on the pitch," said Silva. "I want to play as many games as possible and get back to my best form."
Silva's return comes just weeks after he suffered a knee ligament injury in a match against Santos FC. He missed the entire game and had to be replaced by fellow Brazilian player Rui Costa.
Despite the setback, Silva remains optimistic about his chances of returning to the starting line-up. "It's not easy to recover from such injuries,Serie A Stadium but I'm hoping to make a comeback soon," he said.
Silva's injury update comes as Santos FC prepares for their Champions League semi-final against Benfica. The club have already booked a place in the final and will be looking to build on their recent success with Silva's return.
"Lucas Silva is a key player for us, so we're very excited to see him back in training," said manager Paulo Fonseca. "We know that he's a talented player who can help us win matches, so we'll do everything we can to get him back in the lineup."
