Proper Thymeleaf syntex within a th:replace tag

Question

I have this block of code Thymeleaf calls the Spring context and pulls in the user id.

 <li {#ctx.httpSession} >
                      <span th:object="${session.user}"> </span>
                      <span><p>Surname: <span th:text="*{user.id}">Pepper</span></p></span>

I would like to place it into a existing th:replace listed item. Basically i need to get the static 2 replaced with a current session userid inside the url I have tried numerous options, and cant seem to find a solution online.

This is one of my attempts
<li sec:authorize="isAuthenticated()" {#ctx.httpSession}, th:object="${session.user}"  th:replace="::menuItem ( '/users/'+*{user.id}+'/coworkers/find','coworkers','find coworkers','search','Find coworkers')"><span>Find Coworkers</span>
                  </li>
This is the orginial 
<li sec:authorize="isAuthenticated()"  th:replace="::menuItem ( '/users/2/coworkers/find','coworkers','find coworkers','search','Find coworkers')">

I am a Thymeleaf novice so any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Have tried {*{user.id}}

This should work:

th:replace="::menuItem(*{'/users/' + user.id + '/coworkers/find'}, 'coworkers', 'find coworkers', 'search', 'Find coworkers')"
