Neto, Botafogo goalkeeper, vows full commitment to injury recovery

Botafogo will suffer a significant loss until the end of 2025. The goalkeeper Neto suffered a complete rupture of the right femoral rectus muscle during the defeat to São Paulo and had to undergo surgery. The recovery is expected to take more than four months, which will keep him out of action until the end of the season. The player knows he has taken a hard hit.

“Things don't always happen as we want and envision. But I face the challenges that present themselves with the same dedication and professionalism that I bring throughout my career. I thank all the messages in these last days and all the support from the Club at the beginning of my recovery,” he wrote.

John's Successor

Hired in August to be John's successor, Neto was taking on a leading role in Botafogo's goal. However, the serious injury interrupts his sequence on the field and leaves the club's defensive sector with a considerable loss for the final stretch of the calendar.
