The concern has taken over Brazil after what appears to be a new and serious injury that has affected Neymar, the undisputed star of the Brazilian team. The talented forward left the field feeling in the first half of the match in which the 'Scratch' suffered a 2-0 defeat against Uruguay at Centenario Stadium, for the fourth round of the 2026 qualifiers. However, after undergoing the corresponding tests, it was confirmed that it is a problem with the ligaments in his left knee.
Dr. Rodrigo Lasnar, the Brazilian team doctor, has been cautious when addressing Neymar's injury. When asked about the possibility of a ligament tear, he stated that further medical tests will be repeated on Wednesday and that the next 24 hours will be crucial to evaluate Neymar's knee response.
