Neymar faces over a month of recovery after suffering a knee injury.
Details: According to the Geglobo portal, 33-year-old Santos winger Neymar will miss more than a month due to a knee injury sustained during the match against Mirassol on November 20 in the 34th round of the Brazilian Serie A.
The situation at Santos is extremely difficult, with the team stuck in the relegation zone with only three matches left in the championship, and now they have lost their key attacking player.
Reports indicate that Neymar will only be able to return to full training at the start of 2026, which drastically reduces his chances of being called up to the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup.
This season, Neymar played 25 matches for Santos, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists. His current contract with Santos runs until December 2025, and so far, there has been no news of an extension.
Reminder: Santos to be put up for sale. Among the interested parties are Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Chelsea owners
