Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta must undergo surgery this summer.

The Lyon star injured his finger after an unusual kiting incident.

Paqueta was flying a kite on holiday that damaged his finger to the extent that he must go under the knife.

The Brazilian went onto social media and posted the following about his injury in an Instagram Story post, saying: "Remember that children's games also have their consequences.

"I went to fly a kite today and cut my finger.

"Everything is fine, but to avoid any problems with movement in the future, tomorrow I will have a minor surgery."
