Neymar torn his ACL and is out for the rest of the season

The worst news for Neymar were confirmed after he suffered an injury in Brazil’s clash vs. Uruguay on Wednesday. As his Saudi Arabian club announced, the Al Hilal forward has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee.

The Brazil international will undergo a procedure, which means that he will need a lot of time to recover, and almost certainly, we will not see him again on the pitch until the end of the season.
