In a 0-2 loss to Uruguay in a 2026 World Cup qualifying match played in South America, attacker Neymar suffered serious injuries.

When Neymar was hauled off the field at halftime, he sobbed. The 31-year-old striker hurt his left knee after tripping in the 44th minute. Playmakers from all sides surrounded him, curious about his injuries. Taking over for the injured Neymar, Richarlison gripped his face with both hands. Regarding his wound, the Brazilian health service has remained silent.

Neymar currently plays for Al Hilal Club in the Saudi Pro League. On October 13, he was criticized for his performance in their 1-1 draw with Venezuela. Because of his serious injuries, Neymar will be sidelined for an extended period of time. Following ankle surgery in March, the 31-year-old attacker was out for the whole season. On September 15, he finally made his Al Hilal debut.
