Sports doctor: “Neymar’s crosses look torn”
On the night of October 18, the 2026 World Cup 4th qualifying round match between the Brazilian and Uruguay national teams was played on the South American field. The match ended with the victory of the Uruguayan team with a score of 2-0.
45+4 of the match. Brazilian star striker in minutes Neymar He had to replace Richarlison. Neymar injured his left leg during a fight with Nicolas De La Cruz.
The moment when Neymar was injured was commented on by Dmitry Babelyuk, a former employee of the Lviv “Rukh” medical center.
“Tonight Neymar suffered a complex knee injury and left the pitch on a stretcher in tears.
As you can see in slow motion, if you look closely at your left knee, when you transfer weight the tibia in the knee moves forward and then moves sharply back, which almost always means damage to the anterior cruciate ligament.
The Brazilian player left the stadium on crutches, fixing his knee with a support. I think the diagnosis will be confirmed by an MRI examination soon.
“If the diagnosis is confirmed, the player will be out of action for 7 to 10 months, taking into account the next operation and long-term rehabilitation,” he said.

INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:
“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”
FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”
Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:
“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”
Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.
“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.
It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.
Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.
We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.
I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.
Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
