Neymar sends message to Rodrygo after serious injury: "My heir" | OneFootball

Neymar used his social media this Tuesday to send a message to Rodrygo. The Real Madrid and Brazilian National Team forward tore the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his left knee and will miss the rest of the season.

“Today is one of the saddest days for me. When I heard about the injury, a film played in my head. All the suffering, all the anguish, and the fear of experiencing this injury! My 10, my boy, my heir (as I call you) I only ask you one thing... ‘take care of your head’ now is the time to surround yourself with everyone you love… And as you said, you didn’t deserve to go through this right now.. but who are we to doubt God’s plans,” he wrote.

“Little brother… stay strong, I’m sure you’ll come back flying. I love you just as you supported me, I’ll be here for you!” he added.

Rodrygo had returned to the field against Getafe on Monday, after a month away due to tendinitis. The player entered the match at the 54th minute and moments later fell on the side of the field, showing a lot of pain in his left knee. However, he managed to finish the game despite the discomfort.

Tests conducted this Tuesday confirmed the severity of the injury.

Neymar has faced the same problem. The Santos midfielder suffered a serious injury to his left knee on October 17, 2023, during the match between the Brazilian National Team and Uruguay in the World Cup Qualifiers. He suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the meniscus, requiring surgery and keeping him off the field for over a year.

Neymar and Rodrygo have played 10 matches together, all for the Brazilian National Team. They have seven wins, two draws, and one loss. Both were developed by Santos.
