Last Thursday, Santos was eliminated by Palmeiras in the Brazilian Cup. Neymar was injured during the first half of this match.
The Auriverde international, who ended his international career after the 2026 World Cup, suffers from a right thigh injury. His medical examinations indicate that he could miss the next two months of competition.
For the former Paris Saint-Germain player, the culprit of this new physical problem is none other than his club’s gardener.
“I wanted to congratulate the Vila Belmiro field manager. It was the worst pitch the club had ever seen,” he judged in a story published on his Instagram account.
Neymar, a career marred by injuries
Obviously very angry, Neymar drives the point home:
“Lots of holes because of the earthworks carried out the day before. No wonder three players were injured in the first half. Well done, really… Great shit job.”
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 he was sometimes unlucky, his somewhat reprehensible lifestyle was not always unrelated to his many setbacks.
