Neymar breaks silence after new injury

Abou Diaby, Yoann Gourcuff and many others have maintained this reputation as crystal players throughout their careers thanks to a series of injuries. Neymar Jr (32 years old) risks joining this circle. Since his arrival in Europe, the Brazilian has suffered a total of 37 injuries according to the specialist site transfermarkt. Things did not improve after his departure for Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2023. Seriously injured in the knee, he was away from the field for more than a year. But through patience and work, the native of Mogi das Cruzes made his comeback to the green rectangle on October 21.

It was during the Asian Champions League match against Al-Ain. Coming into play for around thirty minutes, the former PSG player almost found the net. Not qualified to participate in Saudi Pro League matches, Ney played his second match last night against Esteghlal (3-0 victory) in Asian C1. But the 32-year-old footballer was physically hit again. In fact, he left the field injured in the 87th minute, after only 30 minutes of play. A hard blow for the player, who grimaced and seemed annoyed.

Neymar expresses himself

After the meeting, his coach, Jorge Jesus, gave his news. “He is coming back from an injury which is not easy and he plays in a position which makes him very vulnerable to tackles. I think his injury is muscular and not knee. He is expected to be out for at least two weeks.” The coach also recalled about him: “I didn't enter him in the league because I knew it could happen again. It’s not just an injury.” In the process, Neymar reacted to his new injury on Instagram.

“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 for this to happen after a year, the doctors had already warned me, that’s why I have to be careful and have more minutes to play.” In another message published on Instagramhe congratulated his team for their great match while adding that he was “very happy” to be able to play at home again. Despite everything, his condition is worrying in Brazil, where the press is unhappy after his relapse, and in Saudi Arabia. Arriyadiyah indicates that with this new injury, he should spend the 400 days of absence since his arrival at Al-Hilal.
