Neymar Sent to Hospital After Brutal TackleNeymar Sent to Hospital After Brutal Tackle Brazilian football superstar Neymar was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after suffering a horrific tackle in a pre-season friendly against Al-Fateh. The incident occurred in the 34th minute of the match when Neymar was attempting to collect a loose ball. Defender Fahad Al-Muwallad went in for a challenge and his studs caught Neymar’s right ankle. The impact was sickening, and Neymar immediately collapsed to the ground in agony. The referee awarded a penalty to Paris Saint-Germain, but the attention was solely on the injured Brazilian. Medical staff rushed onto the pitch and administered first aid before Neymar was stretchered off and transported to the hospital. The initial diagnosis suggests a serious ankle injury, with fears that he could miss the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. “It’s too early to tell the extent of the injury, but it looks serious,” said PSG manager Christophe Galtier. “We will wait for the scans to confirm the diagnosis.” The incident has sent shockwaves through the football world. Neymar, who is considered one of the greatest players of his generation, is a key figure for both PSG and the Brazilian national team. If Neymar is ruled out of the World Cup, it would be a major blow to both contenders. Brazil are among the favorites to win the tournament, while PSG will be hoping to make a deep run in the Champions League. The latest update from the hospital indicates that Neymar is undergoing surgery and will remain under observation for the next few days. The results of the surgery and subsequent rehabilitation will determine the timeline for his return to action. The football world is now anxiously awaiting further news on the extent of Neymar’s injury and his availability for the upcoming major events.
