March 4, 2018
Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar was released from hospital on Sunday after undergoing surgery on his foot.
According to ESPN FC's Jonathan Johnson, the procedure went well, and Globo TV aired footage of the player on crutches as he left for his home in Mangaratiba in Rio de Janeiro.
Per the report, Neymar had surgery at the Mater Dei Hospital in Belo Horizonte, where Brazil national-team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar fixed an injury to the fifth metatarsal on his right foot.
Lasmar has previously said the recovery will take up to three months, which should see the Brazil international return in time for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
