Neymar's injury nightmare continues

marca.com, 13 October 2019, 18:15

Once again, for the third time in 2019, Neymar has picked up an injury.

The Brazil No.10 was forced off against Nigeria after just 12 minutes with his hand clasping the back of his left leg.

This year has already been the worst of his career in terms of injuries as he broke a metatarsal for Paris Saint-Germain in January which sidelined him for 85 days.

Two months after his April return, he suffered ankle ligament damage against Qatar in a friendly for Brazil and it ruled him out of the Copa America.

The ex-Barcelona man returned in August for PSG but transfer speculation meant that he didn't take to the field until mid-September.

Neymar has suffered 16 injuries to date in his career, but he's missed 175 days in 2019 alone already with more potentially to come.
