Brazilian star Neymar Jr. suffers a shocking injury in World Cup qualifier
During Brazil’s match against Uruguay in the South American qualifiers for 2026 World Cup.
The Brazilian star Neymar Jr. suffered a shocking injury.
The Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal player fell in a horrific manner in the 44th minute.
While the Uruguayan national team was leading by a goal without a reply.
Neymar left the field in tears amid suspicions of a cruciate ligament tear.
Or a serious knee injury that could keep him out of action for a long time.
Will Al Hilal lose the service of Neymar ?
The injury to the Brazilian star is a major blow for Al Hilal.
Because they will lose the services of their most prominent signing during the summer transfer window.
Who came from Paris Saint-Germain.
The loss of Neymar was not the only setback for Brazil.
Due to the fact that they suffered their first defeat in the qualifiers with a 2-0 loss in the fourth round.
After “Samba” team won the first two matches.
And drew with Venezuela in the third round, to stop the team’s tally at 7 points.
Neymar moved to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal last August.
Paris St-Germain agreed on a deal to sell Brazil forward Neymar to Saudi FC Al-Hilal.
Some reports mentioned that Neymar was earning around 25m euros (£21.6m) annually at the French side.
While he will earn 150m euros (£129.2m) a year in Saudi Arabia – six times the amount he earned at PSG.
However, other players like; Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Jordan Henderson, Ruben Neves, Sadio Mane.
As well as Roberto Firmino have all moved to Saudi Arabia.
Surely this will keep the Pro League in the spotlight when it comes to attracting the biggest names.
Even if injuries mean the Brazilian’s best days are probably behind him.
