Brazilian superstar Neymar has been dealt another devastating setback, with reports from Globo confirming that the forward has suffered a meniscus injury in his left knee and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 calendar year. The injury occurred during his latest appearance for Santos, where the 32-year-old was seen in visible pain before being taken off.
According to the report, initial assessments revealed significant damage to the meniscus, prompting medical staff to recommend an extended recovery period. This latest injury adds to Neymar’s long list of fitness struggles in recent years, many of which have disrupted his consistency at both club and international levels.
The setback is especially heartbreaking given Neymar’s emotional return to Santos earlier this year, a move that was intended to help him regain confidence, form, and match sharpness after previous injuries. His comeback had generated massive excitement among supporters, but the momentum has once again been halted due to physical issues.
Santos FC is expected to provide a detailed medical update soon, but early indications suggest a lengthy rehabilitation process.
