⚽ Summary:
Brazilian football superstar Neymar Jr returned to his boyhood club Santos FC in early 2025 with hopes of revival. However, this comeback season has become one of disruption, injuries, and uncertainty. Despite all, Neymar eyes a powerful return for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
🔍 Latest Updates:
🦠 COVID-19 Diagnosis
On June 8, 2025, Neymar tested positive for COVID-19.
As a result, he missed the Fortaleza clash and is now in home isolation.
Santos FC confirmed he will be out until full recovery.
🤕 Injury After Injury
In April, Neymar suffered a left thigh injury just 34 minutes into a match.
This followed multiple muscle issues earlier in the year.
His 2025 record so far:
12 matches, 3 goals, 3 assists
Medical experts noted: “He rushed his return too soon.”
📄 Contract Situation
Neymar’s contract with Santos expires on June 30, 2025.
Reports suggest he may extend until December 2026, aiming to prepare for the World Cup.
However, a controversial handball red card vs Botafogo last month has drawn criticism and raised doubts.
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti excluded Neymar from the current squad.
He stated Neymar must be “fully fit” before rejoining international duty.
Ancelotti: “Once he's ready, Neymar can still fit anywhere on the pitch.”
