This is the first time in Neymar's career that he has suffered a knee injury, but it is extremely serious, requiring surgery and will put him out of action for a long time. Marca (Spain) predicts: "Neymar may say goodbye to the 2024 Copa America".
Neymar has another injury nightmare
Neymar was injured after colliding with Uruguayan player Nicolas de la Cruz at the end of the first half of the match where Brazil lost 0-2 to Uruguay on October 18. He rolled around in pain and left the field in tears. After the match, the 31-year-old star had to move with crutches with great difficulty.
The nightmare scenario for Neymar after the injury test showed that he had completely torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus. With this development, Neymar was extremely disappointed. Before that, he posted a status on social network Instagram to reassure fans and hoped that he would avoid the serious injury that was predicted to be related to the ligament. However, the worst happened.
Neymar has a long and persistent injury history, which has kept him out of action for a total of 424 days since 2020. The most common injuries are muscular, with both ankles broken, a broken rib and a back injury that caused a stir in Brazil's match against Colombia at the 2014 World Cup.
Neymar (right) is not sure when he will return to the field.
Having to undergo knee surgery will be a huge shock to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, after they spent a lot of money to own him from PSG. This includes a transfer fee of 90 million euros and an annual salary and bonus of up to 200 million euros/year. Up to now, Neymar has only played 5 matches for Al Hilal, scoring 1 goal and 3 assists.
Neymar is likely to be out of action for more than eight months. The Brazilian star could miss the 2024 Copa America in the US, which kicks off on June 20, 2024.
