A few days ago, he returned to the field after a long injury. After almost a year, he returned to the field for his starting club Santos. Due to a long injury, he also canceled his contract with Saudi club Al Hilal. However, misfortune did not leave Neymar behind. After playing for Santos for a few weeks, he was injured again.
The Brazilian star was unable to play in his last match for Santos due to this sudden injury, which has also made his path to return to the Brazil team difficult.
Neymar was not in Santos’ squad for their last match against Corinthians in the Paulista Championship semi-finals. The team has not confirmed the reason for his absence, but Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that the star forward has suffered a new injury.
Romano said on his social media, “Neymar Jr. was feeling unwell, that’s why he wasn’t in the Santos squad last night (local time).”
Neymar himself later spoke about the injury, “Unfortunately, I’ve been feeling some pain in the last few weeks. I really wanted to help the team, then in the morning we did some tests, but then I felt pain again.” It was later learned that Neymar had been feeling discomfort in his thigh muscles on the morning of the match, which is why he withdrew from the match.
They couldn’t even win a game without Neymar. They were knocked out of the competition after losing 2-1 to Corinthians.
Neymar, who has been in fine form since joining Santos, returned to the national team for the World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina in March. A fresh injury has raised concerns about his performance in those two matches.
