Neymar Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery with Eye on 2026 World Cup for Brazil

Brazilian superstar Neymar has successfully undergone arthroscopic surgery on his medial meniscus following the conclusion of the 2025 Serie A season.

The 33-year-old forward, who played a vital role in keeping Santos in the top division despite persistent pain, opted for the procedure to resolve long-standing knee issues ahead of a crucial 2026.

While the surgery was a success, Neymar is expected to miss the start of the 2026 preseason and the Campeonato Paulista. With his Santos contract set to expire on December 31, his recovery progress will be a major factor in contract extensions and his goal of making Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The player will now undergo a structured rehabilitation program to ensure he reaches peak fitness for the global tournament.
