“Went Very Well” – Neymar Provides Fresh Ankle Injury Update as Flies ‘Home’ After Major Surgery in Qatar

Dubbed to be one of the most expensive transfers of all time, Neymar and PSG have not been a success. The left winger with immense technical prowess failed to win the Champions League after repeated tries for the French capital team. Therefore, the signing probably is underwhelming for all the wrong reasons. In addition, the injury troubles completely dampened his form with the club. After the latest ankle injury, Neymar will miss three to four months of playing time. He returned to Brazil and also posted an Instagram story of how he flew back to his home nation.

The Brazilian superstar left for his home country after having successful surgery to repair his ankle ligaments. Up until his injury, the Brazilian displayed some of his best soccer skills in a PSG shirt. Yet, injuries always pushed him down.

Neymar flies back to Brazil after successful surgery

In his Instagram story, he captioned, “Home” with an airplane and prayer emoji. Likewise, his ankle has a plaster cast after his surgery. The 31-year-old superstar underwent surgery in Qatar for his right ankle ligament injury. The club announced the surgery “went very well.” The surgery took place at the ASPETR clinic in Doha. Three surgeons performed the procedure, and Brazilian national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar was present during the surgery.

The winger suffered a severe sprain to his right ankle. Throughout his career, the weak ankle was a cause for concern. After various strains to his ankle, the ligament gave way and having surgery became a necessity. Similarly, the 2022 Qatar World Cup also saw Neymar injuring his ankle during Brazil’s match against Serbia. He suffered an ankle lateral ligament injury with minor bone edema. After a successful surgery, Neymar will now aim to recover to get back on the pitch.

The player is set to undergo mandatory protocols from the club to take rest and recover according to the schedule. German giants Bayern Munich knocked out Paris Saint Germain in the Round of 16 as Neymar missed the game. Despite having Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi on the side, the team heavily missed Neymar for his creativity on the pitch.

Technically brilliant, physically weak?

Ever since he signed for PSG, serious injuries have dampened his progress. Dubbed to be the third-best player of his generation after Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar was at the peak of his powers in Barcelona. But, soon things fell apart. Having won several Ligue 1 titles, the second Champions League trophy eluded him. Approximately missing under two years of soccer games with PSG, injury concerns have given him trouble since day one.

According to Marca, he missed 104 games for PSG and 37.5% of those matches. The jury is out on whether Neymar and PSG was a match made in heaven. For starters, he produced some of the best skills on a soccer pitch. On the other hand, the inability to remain unfit probably caused the club a lot on crucial occasions.
