Neymar continues his rehabilitation following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, performed on December 22, 2025, to address a meniscus tear.
The 34-year-old Brazil forward (born february 5) has been working at the santos training facility, recently sharing updates on his progress via social media. He has been focusing on exercises designed to strengthen his knee and regain full mobility.
