Neymar will undergo surgery after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Brazil’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying defeat by Uruguay. The forward was in tears after being carried off the field on a stretcher in Montevideo and his club, Al-Hilal, have revealed the extent of the damage. “The medical tests Neymar underwent, confirmed the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus tear injury in his knee, he will be going through surgery and then a treatment program that will be determined later,” read a statement on Twitter. Brazil were trailing to Darwin Núñez’s opening goal at Estadio Centenario when Neymar landed awkwardly after colliding with Nicolás de la Cruz just before half-time. The 31-year-old, who joined the Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, was carried off in distress as he cupped his hands to his face. After De la Cruz made sure of Uruguay’s win, Neymar was reportedly seen leaving the stadium on crutches.
