Neymar Attends Santos Match Despite Injury Concerns
Neymar made an appearance at Vila Belmiro, Santos’ stadium, to watch the match against Deportivo Cuenca, which concluded the group stage of the Copa Sul-Americana. The number 10 was questioned about the condition of his calf, which suffered an injury causing swelling. In response, Neymar joked, saying that “It’s here, intact,” and when asked if the problem might hinder his participation in the World Cup, he joked again: “Problem what?”.
Despite this, Santos assures that Neymar will arrive in good physical condition and should not be an obstacle for the World Cup.
The problem began on May 26, when Santos was defeated 1-0 by Chapecoense due to an injury to his left calf. Neymar suffered an injury to his calf that left a degree 2 swelling and was determined that the forward would be out for 10 days. However, Neymar was at Vila Belmiro, despite going to present himself to the Brazilian Selection the next day and having to meet with the Brazilian Selection’s doctor.
The Santos coach, Cuca, said that Neymar is improving day by day, that he had all the treatment at the club and expects him to be well enough to play at his best. Neymar has a lot of experience in international competitions and has always distinguished himself with the club. The calf injury is a problem that Neymar has experienced before, but he always recovered to play in very important competitions.
