"During the break we had, he underwent a procedure on his knee, so he didn't train. He spent four or five days recovering from that. He worked on some of the fitness targets he needed to meet."
"This week he's been working on strength, speed and endurance. He'll be raring to go for the 13 consecutive matches remaining until the [next international] break."
"Reports said the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star had a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, which involves using the player's own blood to regenerate tissue and aid in the healing of micro-injuries."
"Neymar has struggled with fitness issues since he tore the ACL and meniscus in his left knee on October 2023 while playing for Brazil."
Neymar had a knee procedure during the international break to enhance his fitness ahead of the World Cup. He missed Brazil's warmup matches and a recent game for Santos. Coach Cuca noted that Neymar spent several days recovering and has been working on strength, speed, and endurance. Although the specific procedure was not disclosed, reports suggest it was platelet-rich plasma treatment. Neymar has faced fitness challenges since a significant knee injury in October 2023, and his recent performances have not secured him a spot in the national team for the World Cup.
