Neymar will have to undergo a long rehabilitation to enjoy football again. The 31-year-old forward received the sad news about the tear of the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee that he suffered in the Brazil National Team's 2-0 loss to Uruguay on the CONMEBOL Qualifiers. This was confirmed by the studies carried out after the game and, thus, he will have to undergo surgery so he will have to spend between six to eight months off the field.
The footballer made a post on his Instagram account pointing out his state of mind after hearing the news. "It is a very sad moment, the worst. I know I am strong but this time I am going to need my friends and family even more. It is not easy to go through an injury and surgery, imagine going through all this again after four months of recovery. I have faith, too much...But I put the strength in God's hands so that he can renew mine. Thank you for the messages of support and affection", posted ‘Ney’.
Now, his teammates from the arabian team had a great gesture with Neymar, who observed the victory of his team. The thing is that, after learning of his serious injury, this Friday Al Hilal's starting footballers jumped onto the field to take the traditional photo before the duel. When it came time to pose, his colleagues brought out the '10' jacket of the brazilian star as support.
The millions that Al-Hilal would receive for Neymar's injury
As noted by the spanish website Sport, the team of the brazilian star could claim a hefty sum of money from FIFA under the FIFA Club Protection Programme. According to what they shared, based on the words of a Sports Law specialist, he could receive an initial payment of 1.5 million euros and then he would receive monthly payments until Neymar recovers. “FIFA covers a maximum of one year of injury and the amount of compensation is limited to €7.5M, with the maximum amount paid per day in which the player cannot play being €20,548", explained Eduardo Carlezzo, partner of Carlezzo Advogados and specialist in Sports Law.
