Santos confirmed by an official note that Neymar suffered an injury in the semimbranous muscle during the 2-0 victory over Atletico-MG on Wednesday by Brasileirão. The injury was identified by image surveys, conducted after the player felt a discomfort in the left thigh during the first half of the match. The team pointed out that there was no relapse of the previous injury, and that the athlete has already begun treatment at CT Rei Pelé, following the plan for recovery and muscle enhancement.
According to the club, shirt 10 was still in the phase of the muscle mass after recovering from an injury suffered in the last stretch of the Paulista championship. He had returned to the lawns in the previous round against Fluminense after 42 days inactivity.
“It was decided together with staff and the athlete himself that this recovery work will continue and, if necessary, new approaches will be carried out to reach the ideal values for return to the lawns,” the club said in a statement.
The coaching staff and the medical department also pointed out that complications like this were already predicted, especially during the long inactivity period that the player met before returning to Brazilian football. The attacker will be re -evaluated regularly to monitor the development of the table and possible adjustments in the treatment.
Neymar’s latest history of injuries has been a challenge in the player’s career. Still at Saudi Arabia al-Hilal, the striker was a year away from the pitch after breaking the former cruciate ligament band and suffering an injury to his knees meniscus. He returned to the fields in October 2023, but was again injured in the second match, with a discomfort in his right thighs.
Now, back to Brazilian football, Neymar handles another physical setback at the beginning of his career by Santos. Still without return deadline, the athlete’s club and staff efforts focus on full recovery so that the player can find the best physical form and act regularly.
