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.

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100th match at Santos’ Vila Belmiro home did not go to plan after he sustained a left thigh injury and had to be withdrawn in the first half of their 2-0 win over Atletico Mineiro.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.

Santos is defeating Atlético Mineiro 2-0 on the night of this Wednesday (16). But not everything is celebration at Vila Belmiro. Right after the first goal - scored by Zé Ivaldo -, Neymar complained of pain in the back of his left thigh. And he went to the bench, already lamenting the situation.
