Neymar suffered an ACL injury in October 2023 while playing for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, having also suffered a series of issues with Paris Saint-Germain previously. Another hamstring injury last year saw his contract with the Saudi club ripped up, though it is reported by that this new problem does not affect the same muscle.
The injury occurred on what was the Brazilian's 100th appearance for Santos, cutting short an evening of celebration. Neymar wore a shirt with 100 on his back rather than 10, but was subbed off after 34 minutes.
It is early days in the Brazilian Serie A campaign, with Santos aiming to re-establish themselves at the highest level in their first season back after a shock relegation in 2023. They have taken four points from their first four games and Neymar will hope for a swift return so that he can contribute towards the majority of the season.
