Neymar’s 100th match at Santos’ Vila Belmiro home did not go to plan after he sustained a left thigh injury and had to be withdrawn in the first half of their 2-0 win over Atletico Mineiro. The 33-year-old was visibly upset after suffering the problem and when leaving the pitch on a cart.

Neymar's injury woes continued on Wednesday when the Santos forward left the pitch in tears due to a left thigh problem in the first half of their 2-0 win over Atletico Mineiro in Brazil's Serie A.

The Prince of Brazilian football, Neymar Junior suffered a fresh injury just minutes after he returned to the pitch, months after rehabbing from a previous injury. The scenes turned emotional as Brazil's highest goal scorer was seen weeping at his current situation while he left the pitch.
