Neymar contracted another serious injury last night during the match in Uruguay with his Brazilian team.

Neymar is not finished! Tuesday evening, during Brazil’s match against Uruguay in the World Cup qualifiers, the former Parisian had the misfortune of getting injured. A blow that seemed serious, just looking at the state in which he left the field. We saw him in tears and totally dejected.

A long feared absence for Neymar

The Brazilian federation has not yet communicated on the injury of its star player, other than to say that it is “worrying”. And she shouldn’t do it because the international gathering is over. “Ney” is supposed to return to his Saudi club Al-Hilal.

How long will the former Barcelona player be unavailable? The mystery remains total, but the first predictions are not really encouraging. The knee has swollen, raising fears of a serious problem. Thorough medical examinations should take place very quickly and we will then be able to determine how much time Neymar will spend off the field.

Neymar is renowned for having a fragile physique, with recurring injuries, each one as serious as the next. Since August 2021, there have been 10 defections. He was successively affected in the adductors, ankle, malleolus, knee and also muscularly. During the previous campaign, he missed five months of competition after having ankle surgery. Let’s hope for him that he doesn’t play billiards again.
