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.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
