2023 is a year to forget for Neymar, as in mid-October he suffered a terrible injury that will keep him away from the field until 2024. Prior to that, he started with an ankle rupture. The Brazilian, now, suffers from a knee ligament injury caused while playing a match against Uruguay for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. The forward from Al-Hilal will undergo surgery in search of a speedy recovery, which is estimated to take place between August and September.
And the suffering doesn't stop... injuries have prevented Neymar from showcasing his best game in recent years. The forward who once could compete with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi for the title of the best in the world, is going through one of the most difficult moments of his football career, as he is dealing with one of his worst injuries at 31 years old.
