Brazil international Neymar tore his anterior cruciate ligament and tore the meniscus in his left knee in Tuesday’s 2026 World Cup qualifier in Uruguay. Officials of the Brazilian Football Confederation announced on the website today that the Al-Hilal striker will undergo surgery. Her date has not yet been determined.
Thirty-one-year-old Neymar was injured shortly before the end of the first half in Montevideo. The best scorer in the history of the Brazilian national team stumbled during the fight and left the field in tears on a stretcher.
The five-time world champions lost the match in Uruguay 0-2, ending their 37-game unbeaten qualifying run. In the table of the South American group, the Brazilians are third after four rounds played.
