During Neymar’s game this past Tuesday he unfortunate was injured mid game, and it is confirmed by his club Al-Hilal that he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and his meniscus in his left knee while playing for Brazil against Uruguay. Although the team walked away with a win on their backs against Uruguay, they suffered a great loss to the team lineup. most ACL injuries take months to heal, and the surgery only adds onto the healing time. This means that Neymar’s participation in the Copa America in June is under threat. He will most likely end up having to do physical therapy (PT) for the next few months. Neymar is not happy about being injured again, making this the second time this year he will be undergoing surgery. His past injury before his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus tear was only a few months as apart from his ankle injury that happened in February, which ended his season early while in Paris. that past ankle injury forced him to miss the last 15 matches of the season with PSG.
This injury will not only affect and delay his soccer career, it’s going to have a massive impact on his family as well. Neymar is currently not married but he does have two children, one of which is only just over two months old and another who is twelve years old. His injuries are going to cause conflict with the way he is able to care for and manage his kids. These next few months are going to be difficult for the soccer start but in time he will heal and be back out on the field before you know it.
