Neymar’s injury curse has struck again, and this time he’s been the victim of one of the most serious of his career to date.
The Brazilian was in a great deal of pain during Brazil’s World Cup qualifier against Uruguay this week, and needed to be stretchered off.
It’s now been confirmed that the 31-year-old has not only torn his anterior cruciate ligament which will likely mean nine months out of action, but he has also torn his meniscus.
His season is over and Sky Sports report that his club, Al Hilal, wish him well and to come back stronger.
