Reports indicate Neymar has chosen to disregard doctors’ recovery recommendations because he wants to help Santos secure their place in Brazil’s Serie A and also earn a call-up to the national team for the World Cup. Neymar has decided to ignore the potential health repercussions for now and deal with them later.

Earlier reports had stated that Neymar would not be able to play again until the end of the current year.

At the moment, Santos sits in 17th place in the league table and faces relegation if they cannot climb higher in the final three matches.

This season, Neymar has played 25 matches for Santos, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists. His current contract with Santos runs until December 2025, and there is no information yet about a possible extension.

Reminder: Santos to be put up for sale. Among the interested parties are Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Chelsea owners
