Neymar, from 2020 to date more than 400 days due to injuries

Neymar, who recently moved to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, recently returned to the pitch after suffering another serious injury in the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Lille in the 2022/23 season.

He got to play a few matches for his new team, but now he suffered another serious injury, in Brazil’s last game, a World Cup qualifier.

The Brazilian was replaced before the break, carried off the field on a stretcher, in tears, and the doctors’ diagnosis was cruel: rupture of the cruciate ligament and meniscus of the left knee.

Neymar will undergo surgery and is expected to be out for 9 months, with a high chance of missing Copa America 2024.

His former colleague in “Barcelona” and “Paris Saint-Germain” Lionel Messi encouraged the Brazilian star.

“A lot of power!” – this was Lionel Messi’s message to Neymar.

From 2020 to date, Neymar has been unavailable for 424 days due to injuries sustained during this period.
