Neymar picks up serious injury as Brazil lose 2-0 to Uruguay

Brazil striker Neymar Jr was forced off the pitch with a knee injury in a 2-0 loss to Uruguay in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

At the end of the first half, Neymar was in tears as medics carried him off the pitch.

The former PSG player was later seen exiting the stadium on crutches.

In the 44th minute, the 31-year-old stumbled and collapsed on a run at Centenario Stadium and was quickly surrounded by players from both teams as he grasped his left knee.

Richarlison eventually took his seat.

Rodrigo Lasmar, the Brazil team doctor, stated after the game that Neymar had already undergone tests and that more would be done on Wednesday.

“These 24 hours will be important to see how the knee will respond, how the swelling will be,” he stated.

“Imaging tests to determine a definitive diagnosis.” It’s too early to tell [whether the ailment is a ligament tear]. Let us wait for the exams quietly, examine calmly, and let you know as soon as we have a definition.”
