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100th match at Santos’ Vila Belmiro home did not go to plan after he sustained a left thigh injury and had to be withdrawn in the first half of their 2-0 win over Atletico Mineiro.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

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.
