Brazilian football star Neymar has tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time. His club, Santos, confirmed the news in a statement, revealing that the forward began showing symptoms on Thursday, June 5, and has since been receiving treatment.

“After showing signs of a viral infection, Neymar Jr. underwent lab tests that confirmed a COVID-19 diagnosis,” the club said. “He has been away from team activities and is being treated for the symptoms.”

Neymar had previously tested positive for the virus back in 2021 during his time at Paris Saint-Germain. Although he remains Brazil’s all-time top scorer with 79 international goals, the 33-year-old hasn’t played for the national team since suffering an injury against Uruguay in October 2023.

He also missed the 2024 Copa America and was left out of Brazil’s current World Cup qualifying squad, led by coach Carlo Ancelotti, for matches against Ecuador and Paraguay.
