Victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and injury to the meniscus of the left knee on October 17, Neymar will play billiards. His absence should be much longer than expected.

In tears at the time of his injury exit during Uruguay-Brazil on October 17, Neymar knew that the situation was going badly for him. The verdict delivered immediately by the doctors did not contradict it since the examinations carried out revealed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and damage to the meniscus of the left knee. The Auriverde international then took the time to think about what actions and protocol to put in place to recover from this umpteenth injury. If his return to the field initially seemed possible for the very end of the season, the situation is no longer the same at all.

According to Globo, the “Ney” chose to have an operation in Brazil. Initially, the former Paris Saint-Germain and his new club Al-Hilal leaned more towards an operation that would take place in France. But the Brazilian media explained that it would finally happen this Thursday near Belo Horizonte. It is the doctor of the Brazilian selection, Rodrigo Lasmar, who will personally take care of the operation.

September 2024?

But the most important information delivered by the media concerns Neymar’s recovery time. A return to form which should last much longer than expected since it is now a recovery of around ten months which is mentioned! If he still had a tiny hope of returning to the field before the end of next summer, Neymar is therefore set. Almost a year without playing, it’s a difficult period that the Brazilian is preparing to go through. If the forecast schedule is respected, it should not reappear on Saudi lawns before September 2024.
