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100th match at Santos’ Vila Belmiro home did not go to plan after he sustained a left thigh injury and had to be withdrawn in the first half of their 2-0 win over Atletico Mineiro.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

Neymar rejoined Santos after nearly 12 years away back in January, drawing an end to his ill-fated spell in Saudi Arabia following the mutual decision to terminate his contract.
