Last Saturday, images of Neymar at former center forward Romário’s birthday party resonated on social media due to the athlete’s physical shape, who is recovering from an injury. The Al Hilal striker was also the subject of international press, who stated that he did not appear to be himself.
After the national and international repercussion, this Monday (29), the player posted photos on social media showing him exercising in a gym and an image of a plate of salad.
“He doesn’t look like Neymar, but he is (…) Spotted leaving the birthday party organized by Romário, Neymar appears quite overweight. Unless it is an effect of the photo, the matter would be worrying. For his team, for Brazil and for himself. A football player called to be a global star who seems more in the twilight of his career”, wrote Mundo Deportivo, from Spain.

Neymar is recovering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee, as well as a meniscus injury. The striker was injured during the match between Brazil and Uruguay, in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, in Montevideo, on October 17th.
The operation is expected to recover at least six months. As a result, the player will miss the 2024 Copa América. Even so, Neymar took advantage of the break in Saudi football to take advantage of the MSC Prescioza ship, which was the stage for the “Ney em alto Mar” event.
