Neymar, who has been suffering from a long injury hiatus, finally shed tears.
Britain’s “The Sun” said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time) that Neymar, who had been unable to play for 11 months due to injuries, confessed with tears that he was “in pain every day.”
Neymar left Paris Saint-Germain for Al-Hilal, Saudi Arabia, after the 2022-23 season. In October, he suffered serious injuries that threatened his career. Neymar, who started in the fourth round of the 2026 FIFA South American qualifying round against Uruguay, collapsed in the extra time of the first half, complaining of severe pain after a contest with Nicolas de la Cruz, and walked off the field with tears. After Neymar’s absence, Brazil lost 0-2 in the 32nd minute of the second half, allowing De La Cruz an extra point.
After the match, many experts exchanged views regarding his injury. British media Sky Sports reported, “Neymar used crutches to leave the stadium. Brazilian doctor Rodrigo Rasma told reporters that it was too early to confirm the severity of his injury,” and European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano added, “Neymar’s injury appears to be a serious one. I wish him a speedy recovery.” 메이저사이트
Neymar’s injuries were an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus rupture. “After MRI and imaging, we confirmed Neymar’s injury was a ruptured ACL and meniscus in his left knee. Neymar will undergo surgery to repair his injury,” the Brazilian national team said on its official website after the game. After devoting himself to rehabilitation for about a year, he has now started individual training and is expected to make a comeback in the near future.
Neymar recalled the difficult past year as he had suffered the biggest injury in his career so far. According to media, Neymar told NR Sports, “Every day I left the ground was painful and a big blow. After moving to Al Hilal, my daughter was born, and it was a great year, and this happened. I felt tremendous pain and realized at that moment that it was a serious injury.”
