Neymar reacted on his social networks on Wednesday evening following the announcement of the medical verdict according to which he suffers from a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee.

His tears raised fears of a serious injury, the first examinations confirmed it. Exited with an injury during the defeat in Uruguay (2-0) on Tuesday, Neymar (31) suffers from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligaments and the meniscus of his left knee and will have to be operated on. The player reacted to this new injury on his Instagram account.

“It’s a very sad moment, the worst”

“This is a very sad moment, the worst,” he wrote. “I know I am strong but this time I am going to need my family and friends even more,” he added.

“It’s not easy going through injuries and surgeries, imagine going through all that once more following 4 months of recovery.”

“I have too much faith… But I put my strength in the hands of God so that he can renew mine. Thank you for the messages of support and affection.”

The former Barcelona and PSG player, transferred to the Saudi club Al-Hilal this summer, was left in tears on a stretcher on Tuesday evening. During the post-match press conference, the CBF communications director indicated that it was a “worrying” injury, without giving further details.

The top scorer in the history of the Seleçao was injured just before half-time, shortly following Uruguay opened the score. He fell badly following a clash with Uruguayan midfielder De la Cruz and twisted his knee. He will therefore miss at least his country’s next two qualifying matches, once morest Colombia on November 17 in Barranquilla and Leo Messi’s Argentina on November 22 at the Maracana.

This new stoppage comes following another serious injury to his right ankle which kept him away from the field for six months, from March to September. During the World Cup in Qatar, he was injured during the first match, once morest Serbia. He returned for the round of 16, but was unable to prevent the elimination of the Seleçao in the quarterfinals once morest Croatia on penalties, even if he scored during extra time.
