Neymar keeps failing in his comeback attempt. Now the Brazilian superstar suffers the next setback.
Played for a few minutes and once more injured: In the 2-0 (2: 0) of his Santos FC against Atletico Mineiro from Belo Horizonte, Neymar was replaced after only 33 minutes with tears for muscular problems. In search of its former world-class form, a thigh injury again puts the Brazilian Selecao star on hold for an indefinite period.
After his serious knee injury in October 2023 and the associated one -year break, Neymar’s comeback attempt ended for the third time after a few minutes of play. Even at the Saudi club Al-Hilal, the muscles already pinched in the second short assignment. After his return to Santos, he played seven times, but only once over 90 minutes before the left thigh did not stand up for the load in early March.
The second half played through the weekend after a one -month break should now follow a big anniversary. In the 100th home game for the Pele club, Neymar was back in the starting eleven on Wednesday, after the second Santos goal, in view of the again threatening forced break, sank under tears on the lawn before he let himself go off the square a little later and then sitting on the compensation bench.
