Neymar had missed several matches for Santos due to injury, and in his second game back on the field, he was forced to leave during the first half with another apparent physical issue.

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100th match at Santos’ Vila Belmiro home did not go to plan after he sustained a left thigh injury and had to be withdrawn in the first half of their 2-0 win over Atletico Mineiro.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

Brazil striker Neymar leaves the field in tears after injuring his leg 34 minutes into his first league start for Santos this season.
