Neymar could have built a more successful career, but numerous injuries have ruined it. He played in Europe for Barcelona and PSG. Earlier this year, the Brazilian returned to his native club Santos, and his performances there caused serious criticism from fans.
According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, few believed that the striker would return to the field after a long break while playing for Al-Hilal. Rumors spread that the situation was so bad that he could end his career.
Neymar is currently playing in pain: he needs urgent surgery, but his team will not allow it as long as they are at risk of relegation. The striker wants to help them stay in the top league and has scored a goal in his last two games since his injury.
According to Transfermarkt, Neymar has not played football for more than 1000 days during his career. The wave of injuries began in 2014 when he was playing for Barcelona.
Most of his injuries are recurring. The Brazilian suffers most from ankles and hips. The longest recovery period was a cruciate ligament tear he suffered while playing for Al-Hilal. It took 272 days. He also suffered a serious ankle injury at PSG a year earlier, which lasted 163 days.
The infographic makes it all look pretty awful.
