Only two weeks after making his return to competition, Neymar was injured again during Al-Hilal’s victory against Esteghlal FC (3-0) in the Asian Champions League. The former Paris Saint-Germain player was forced to leave the field in the 87th minute of play, only half an hour after coming on.
“I had a cramp, but it was very strong! I’m going to take some exams and I hope it’s nothing more. It’s normal that this happens after a year, the doctors had already warned me, that’s why I have to be careful and have more minutes to play.”reacted Neymar on his Instagram account.
Neymar, endless injuries
Since his arrival in Europe in 2013 at FC Barcelona, Neymar has suffered 37 injuries according to
Transfermarkt. In these conditions, it seems complicated to envisage his return to the highest level. According to local media
Globo Esportehe should not play again under the colors of the Seleçao before 2025. We should therefore not expect to see him appear in the Dorival Junior list, which will be revealed on Friday, for the qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup against in Venezuela and Uruguay.
During his career, the native of Mogi das Cruzes was not spared from serious injuries. Fractured vertebrae during the 2014 World Cup, ruptured ankle ligament in February 2018, hamstrings, adductors… If Neymar was sometimes unlucky, his somewhat reprehensible lifestyle was not always unrelated to his many physical problems.
