Neymar ACL Injury while qualifying the WC
Which game does Neymar play?
Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (born 5 February 1992), known as Neymar Júnior or mononymously as Neymar, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and the Brazil national team.
October 17, 2023
The 31-year-old ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee while playing for Brazil in a 2026 World Cup qualifier last month.
Recovery from an ACL rupture or tear can be eight to 10 months.
Rodrigo Lasmar, Brazil's team doctor, said Neymar is fully committed to regaining full fitness.
"He has demonstrated, from the first moment, that he is following what we are proposing," Lasmar told a news conference in Sao Paulo on Monday.
Neymar was taken off on a stretcher in tears during Brazil's 2-0 defeat by Uruguay after landing awkwardly following a challenge in the first half.
Brazil forward Neymar is recovering well from the knee surgery he had after suffering an injury last month but there is still no forecast of when he will be able to return to action, national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said on Monday.
If you don't know what is an ACL
is one of the ligaments in the knee joint. A ligament is a tough, flexible band of tissue that holds bones and cartilage together. The ACL connects the bottom of the thighbone (femur) to the top of the shinbone (tibia).
Neymar right now is on crutches but very soon he will recover slowly and can play again.

The footballers diary
19/11/22
Today was like any other match day. I woke up showered, got ready, waited to be picked up from my apartment. Training was normal, so was the bus ride. Everything leading up to that moment was normal. It was extra time. I was near the goal. The only thing I saw was Beth and Hannah Blundell both running towards the ball. Out of nowhere, Beth dropped her knee in her hands. Pain was written across her face.
20/11/22
I woke up to the sound of my phone blowing up and picking it up. The first thing I saw was the first text Vivian sent.
Viv: Beth wanted me to tell you all that they did some tests and she has ruptured her acl.
2:23 am
15/12/22
Its been exactly 27 days since Beth did her acl todays yet another home game. I didn't start the game a few seconds into extra time from where I was sitting. You couldn't see what happened. Lyon plays run into a group hug and the fans cheer. The match restarts. Viv gets the ball, passes it to lotte, who then passes it forward to Lia. Three Lyon players close on her and get the ball. Viv goes for it and tries to knock the ball a way from the Lyon player. She falls straight to the floor. Lia passes the ball to Katie. She must have seen. She passes the ball back to Frida. The ref blows her whistle.
16/12/22
It was like deja vu. Only this time it's a text from Beth. I opened my phone and clicked on the Arsenal group chat.
Beffy: Viv asked me to text you all she doesn't know how to tell you all. so she asked me to text and tell you all that she tore her ACL last night.
18/4/23
Tomorrow is match day, and I'm scared. A lot of the girls are it’s like this team has some sort of bad luck in under 4 months. It's the World Cup, and everyone is scared that they will be next.
19/4/23
Match day nerves ran through the team we were playing in a 4-3-3 i have no clue what happened i had just been sent off less than 5 minutes before for a tackle on ella toone it was a shit tackle i know but she was pissing me off i was in the changing room when i heard the sound of football boots 2 horse after it was confirmed leah had ruptured her acl im scared im going to be next
1/5/23
What the actual fuck? It has been 13 days since Leah did her ACL. I just got the text confirming that Laura has ruptured her ACL. What is happening?
5/5/23
I just got the call from Sarina Wigwam asking if I would like to go to the World Cup. Of course, I said yes.
22/7/23
We played Haiti, and we won 1-0. Georgia scored the goal. Apart from that, there's nothing much to say today.
28/7/23
We played Denmark today, and we won yet again. 1-0 lj was the one to score. In other news, I saw a kangaroo today. A few of us made some tiktoks and went for a walk.
1/8/23
We won 1-6. I'm tired, so there's not a lot to say.
16/8/23
Forgot about this. Sorry, we won today 1-3, which means we are going to a final. I can't wait.
21/8/23
Well, we lost, Spain won. I dont know what happened. All I can think about is the pop. I knew what it was the second I went down. I have had it described to me a thousand times. Now I am sitting here on the other side of the world in the same place. Four of my team members have been Why did it have to be me?

An interesting article about the prevalence of ACL injuries in women’s football, and how the biological differences between men and women might not be as big a factor as the social differences, e.g. more rigorous schedules, access to medical care, and investment in women’s teams at all levels. Which would suggest that ACL injuries aren’t just an inevitability for women’s football, but that better investment can help in their prevention. I found this perspective fascinating - thought others might too!
