Neymar has been injured since October 2023.
-
Now his possible excess weight was something to talk about.
-
But the superstar countered and showed his stomach on Instagram.
Brazilian football legend Romario celebrated his 58th birthday last week. Superstar Neymar was among the invited guests. The photos from the party got people talking, but for once it wasn’t because of the wild debauchery, but rather the 31-year-old’s weight that sent the football world into turmoil.
The star striker, who tore his left cruciate ligament during World Cup qualifying with Brazil in October, looked in some photos as if he had a few kilos too much on his ribs.
Neymar shows his stomach
There were no shortage of reactions online. The Spanish newspaper “AS” wrote about “a shock on social media because of Neymar’s physical condition,” and media around the world reported at the beginning of the week about the 31-year-old’s possible weight gain. Now the Brazilian record goalscorer reacts.
Neymar, who is currently under contract with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, defended himself on Instagram. «It’s okay to be overweight, but fat? I don’t think so!” he said in his Insta story, lifting his T-shirt and showing his stomach.
Middle finger to the haters
He also addressed his haters: “Take that! Give it up or run away.” He concluded his short video with an extended middle finger. In another story, the 128-time national player proved that he is working on his fitness. He was shown in the gym and doing strength training with a fitness coach.
The former PSG and Barça kicker has not played a game since his knee injury in October. It is still unclear when he will return to the pitch. According to his doctors, a comeback cannot be expected until August at the earliest. Enough time to get rid of any excess pounds.
