Neymar Opens Up About His Recovery Journey After Latest Injury at the Poker Table

Santos player Neymar has faced another injury, keeping him off the field for several weeks. He shared on Instagram how he’s spending his time during this break.

Neymar posted a photo of himself undergoing rehabilitation with a laptop nearby, showing a poker app on the screen. He captioned the image, “Treatment + therapy (poker) 😉,” indicating that the game helps him mentally during his recovery.

Doctors have diagnosed Neymar with a rectus femoris injury, which may keep him off the field for up to four weeks. This may also prevent him from joining the Brazil national team during the upcoming international break.

During this time, the Seleção will play friendly matches against South Korea and Japan in October as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup.
