Santos FC has confirmed a new concern for Neymar Jr, who once again faces physical difficulties after his return to competitive play. Following his recovery from a muscle injury and an increased strengthening routine, the Brazilian forward felt discomfort in his left thigh during the first half of the match against Atletico MG, which ended in victory for his team. After conducting the necessary tests, the diagnosis revealed a new injury, this time in the semimembranosus muscle.
In an official statement, Santos FC stated that Neymar Jr has already begun treatment at the CT Rei Pelé, and clarified that, as with the previous injury, it is not a recurrence but a new issue that will require special attention. The player will continue his muscle strengthening programme to improve his physical condition, which may help reduce the risk of future injuries.
The club highlighted that such incidents are relatively common after a long period of inactivity, like the one Neymar experienced during his previous recovery. According to club sources, the player will be regularly assessed to monitor his progress and adjust treatment as necessary.
The news has caused concern among Santos fans, but both the coaching staff and Neymar himself are committed to his recovery. It is expected that, if necessary, new approaches will be implemented to ensure that the team’s number 10 returns to the field in the best possible condition.
With this new injury, Neymar Jr’s situation in the coming weeks remains uncertain. While Santos has taken immediate measures to ensure his recovery, the player will be reassessed in the coming days to determine how much longer he will be sidelined. However, what is clear is that all efforts are focused on ensuring a complete and safe recovery for his return to action.
