Last night, Neymar left the Estadio Centenario in an unfortunate state, relying on crutches after suffering an injury during Brazil’s 2-0 defeat to Uruguay in a World Cup qualifying match.
He was visibly in pain and was seen departing the stadium with a sizable protective cast enveloping his injured leg.
Despite his evident discomfort, the Al-Hilal star displayed his kindness by taking a moment to pose for a photo with a young fan.
The distressing moment occurred when the Brazilian superstar had to be stretchered off the field, deeply moved to tears, due to an apparent knee injury.
This incident adds to a lengthy history of injury setbacks for the 31-year-old attacker.
Brazil, following Neymar’s injury, went on to lose the match to Uruguay, with Darwin Nunez and Nicolas de la Cruz scoring the vital goals.
As a result, the Selecao now stands at seven points after four matches, while Argentina maintains a five-point lead at the top of the table.
The duration of Neymar’s absence from the game is uncertain at this point, but it is confirmed that he will not be available for Al-Hilal’s upcoming match against Al-Khaleej on Friday.
