His distress when leaving the field Tuesday evening suggested the worst. Medical examinations have confirmed it: Evacuated on a stretcher during the defeat in Uruguay (2-0), Neymar (31) suffers from a rupture of the cruciate ligaments in his left knee, as announced in a press release by Al -Hilal, his club in Saudi Arabia, this Wednesday evening. “He will undergo surgery and follow a treatment program which will be determined later,” he said.
Immediately, the former Parisian reacted to this new injury on his Instagram account. “It’s a very sad moment, it’s even the worst. I know I’m strong but this time I’m going to need my family and friends even more. It’s not easy to go through an injury and an operation, imagine going through it all again after 4 months of recovery. I have faith, even too much faith… But I put the strength in the hands of God so that he can help me. Thank you for the messages of support and love,” he wrote.
The Seleção’s all-time top scorer was injured before half-time, shortly after Uruguay opened the score. He fell badly following a clash with Uruguayan midfielder De la Cruz and twisted his knee. In addition to the ligaments, his meniscus is also affected. To comfort himself, Neymar can read the messages of support he receives. The Argentine selection sent him their support by telling him to “stay strong”.
Lionel Messi, who is going through a more successful period, also wished him “A lot of strength”. As a reminder, last season while both players wore the PSG jersey, Neymar was seriously injured in his right ankle.
