During the World Cup qualifying round on October 17, 2023, the Brazilian native suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his left knee during Brazil\u2019s loss to Uruguay (2-0). Shortly after enduring this injury, the star football player had to undergo surgery and will need to adhere to a treatment program in the following months. Team doctors are hoping that Neymar will be healthy at the start of the 2024 season which begins in August.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">???

In the 2021-2022 campaign, the Brazilian was forced to sit out for three months because of an ankle injury he endured. Soon after, the star suffered from yet another ankle injury that forced him out of two Brazil matches in the 2022 World Cup. Neymar then returned healthy to Paris Saint-Germain until he suffered from ligament damage in February 2023 to the same ankle, which required surgery, causing him to miss the final months of the football season before moving to Al-Hilal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 31-year-old had recently recovered from his long-term ankle injury that he suffered from while playing with Paris Saint-Germain. After four long months of recovery and his move to Al-Hilal, the Brazilian native played in five matches for the Saudi Pro League team and scored one goal before suffering from yet another injury. The Al-Hilal forward was expected to have a remarkable career, but the star cannot catch a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Brazil Forward Neymar Responding Very Well After ACL Surgery  <br>The player sustained the injury while representing the national team at a 2026 World Cup qualifier. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/smTxf0jkLw\">https:\/\/t.co\/smTxf0jkLw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v9IScvCbj7\">pic.twitter.com\/v9IScvCbj7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ARISE NEWS (@ARISEtv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARISEtv\/status\/1724454847045312834?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 14, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Neymar was hoping to compete for Brazil in the Copa America which will take place between June 20 and July 14, 2024, but an ACL injury typically takes anywhere between six months to a year to recover from.

At the start of his career with Real Madrid, the Belgian native suffered from a hamstring injury, causing his debut to be pushed off until mid-September. This injury was followed by a foot injury that caused the star to miss the entirety of the winter matches. After returning to the team healthy, Hazard injured his fibula and again missed numerous games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout his four seasons with Real Madrid, Eden Hazard missed over half of the club\u2019s matches each season because of his various injuries.  On October 10, 2023, the Belgian football star announced his retirement from the sport following the free agent period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">?
