Santos star Neymar has once again fueled rumors among fans by missing his team's game due to an injury. What really caught the fans' attention was that the injury occurred just before the birthday of Neymar's beloved sister, Rafaella, which is on March 11.
It's worth noting that while playing for PSG, the Brazilian frequently missed matches due to injuries that coincided with his sister's birthday.
This issue caught attention back in 2015 when the footballer was suspended shortly before Rafaella's birthday, after which Barcelona allowed him to fly to Brazil. The following season, he was suspended again and flew to Brazil for his sister's party.
In the next two seasons, Neymar sustained injuries right before his sister's birthday, leading fans to speculate that these situations were intentional.
And now, once again, is he pulling the same trick?
Neymar himself explained that he felt discomfort that prevented him from participating in the match, but it seems not everyone believed him. And then there's Santos' defeat in the match Neymar missed against Corinthians...
