Neymar Undergoes Operation For Torn Knee Ligament
Neymar underwent surgery Thursday at a hospital in his native Brazil to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus damage suffered during a national team match last month. The 31-year-old was stretchered off in tears during Brazil's 2-0 loss to Uruguay in a World Cup qualifying match on October 17, after colliding with opposing midfielder Nicolas de la Cruz. Exams found the star striker had torn his left anterior cruciate ligament, one of the most serious knee injuries in football.
