Brazil and Santos forward Neymar has had a successful operation on his left knee to repair a damaged meniscus.
The 33-year-old has been carrying the injury during a difficult season for Santos, where he played a pivotal role in helping the club avoid relegation from Brazil's top flight.
Santos said Brazil's national team doctor performed the arthroscopic surgery, having previously operated on Neymar for a foot fracture as well as the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) he suffered in 2023.
The operation boosts Neymar's hopes of being included in Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti's plans for the 2026 World Cup.
