Neymar Tests Positive for COVID-19 and Is Currently Receiving Treatment at Santos
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.

Following the match, Galatasaray unveiled Leão to the home fans after completing his move from Italian side AC Milan. Reacting to the arrival of his new teammate, Osimhen said “Very good [signing]. Rafael Leão is a good superstar, I said it.”
Leão officially joined Galatasaray from AC Milan on Sunday, August 30, 2026, in one of the major moves of the summer transfer window.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.

Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
