Neymar sustained a knee injury to his left knee during Brazil’s 2-0 defeat to Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The injury is considered « worrying » by his national team coach.
The communication director of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) stated that it was a « worrying » injury but did not provide further details. Neymar fell to the ground following a collision with Uruguayan midfielder De la Cruz and appeared to twist his knee.
According to Globo Esporte, Neymar might have suffered a serious sprain, although the Brazilian national team’s doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, remains cautious. Further examinations will be conducted.

Cela ressemble encore à une blessure grave pour Ney puisqu'il sortait sur une civière… les mains sur le visage. 😢💔https://t.co/CHp6U5Tf8Y
