An <a href="https://www.espn.com.br/futebol/santos/artigo/_/id/15067928/santos-confirma-nova-lesao-muscular-de-neymar-que-inicia-tratamento-clube-nao-revela-prazo-para-retorno" target="_blank"><em>ESPN</em> report</a> has revealed the club believe he will be out of action for four to six weeks.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>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 <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/al-hilal-terminate-neymar-contract-seven-appearances-homecoming-transfer-santos-imminent-brazil-superstar/bltebcaa300a092d91b" target="_blank">saw his contract with the Saudi club ripped up</a>, though it is reported by <em>ESPN </em>that this new problem does not affect the same muscle.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>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.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>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.</p>
