Worst-case confirmed, David Neres sends message on social media | OneFootball

After the worst-case scenario was confirmed last week, David Neres shared an update this Monday regarding his left ankle injury, which required surgery. The recent medical evaluation, carried out in London, confirmed the need for a surgical intervention to resolve the tendon issue for the Brazilian winger.

The Brazilian winger from Napoli revealed that he has already undergone surgery and said that "everything went well". "Thank you to my wife, who is not only my wife but also my doctor, physiotherapist," he wrote on social media.

The Instagram post was commented on by former teammates he played with at Benfica, including Schjelderup, Álvaro Carreras — "all the best, brother" —, Gonçalo Ramos — "Stay strong, brother" —, João Mário — "Get well soon, brother," and Chiquinho — "Stay strong, my man."

It should be remembered that the former Benfica star was injured in Rome on January 4, during Napoli's victory away against Lazio (0-2). The Brazilian player left the stadium on crutches, and the sprain forced him to miss the important clash with Inter. On the 14th, in agreement with the medical department, Antonio Conte — who was recently the target of criticism — called up Neres for the rescheduled match against Parma, where he was brought on in the 59th minute, but ended up being substituted just 32 minutes later.

In the current season with Napoli, David Neres — valued at 28 million euros — has played 25 matches: 16 in Serie A, six in the Champions League, two in the Italian Super Cup, and one in the Italian Cup. In his 1,368 minutes on the pitch, he scored six goals and provided three assists.
